IIRC the story was large wheels, sticky tires and track testing revealed the need for the frame strengthening.

Not to mention the larger the wheel, the less crush space between the pothole and your expensive rim.

The larger the wheel, generally the more unsprung weight and thus the larger load the suspension has to absorb.

And the more expensive the tire.

Your car, your cash, your image, your comfort, your risk.
