Has anyone placed high profile tyres on their 20” wheels?

I’m currently running 275/35 Dunlop SP Sports MAXX GTs. The UK potholes have finished my front wheels (twisted).

I’m currently in the process of sourcing a new front set and when I hopefully do, I want maximum protection.

Do you have std brakes? You have Diesel? Right? V8 SC have bigger brakes and need to have 20" (i think)
For std size brakes source set of 19" wheels and you can have higher sideprofile without issues.

I have found that forged rims are the only way to stop damage to the rims. My 2014 has forged rims from the factory but most all of the factory Jaguar rims are not. Only a few styles were made that way. But forged means the wheels will be expensive.

This is the only car I have owned with forged rims and so far (7 years of ownership) I have not damaged any of them yet. I have hit several what I would call large to massive potholes too. I run stock tire sizes.
