Falken or BF, 215/50/16 tires look good??

whats up guys...here is my delima...i need new tires for my 16" Focal R3's i bought them with 205/40ZR16 Toyo Proxies(i hated the tires not to mention the size of them)...so i have done some shopping and i am faced with either Falken Azenis Sports 215/45ZR16's or BF Comp T/A VR4 215/50/16....big question is what would 16's look like on 50 profile tires, i also have a 1" drop...i would like to go with BF's because of good tread life and it is closer to stock tire size...but would like to get some info from someone with more experiance, thanks alot

Joe

Personally I would go with neither BUT if you are going to choose between BF and Falken it kinda depends on what you will be using them for. If you are going with race tires then get Falken but if you want street tires go with BF. Falken makes great race tires but their street tires are know for tread seperation. Personally I say Kumho all the way. Great tires for good price. They heat up well they grip perfectly and they deal better than most other performance tiresin wet conditions. I think that the 50 series would probably look better by the way but that also depends on what these tires are for.
