What about speed bumps? Will the suspension travel not get the tyre to hit the arches? (I hope I am wrong!).
If done correctly, bigger rims but with lower profile tyres will mean the overall diameter stays the same, therefore no reason for the wheels to hit the arches, suspension travel remains the same etc.
