Antonovich: If you didn't scrape but busted few wheels .. i wouldn't try to lift as much if doing that at all. Rather just get stronger wheels and of smaller diameter, so that tire used is of higher sidewall. Many gravel rally wheels will fit the bill. They won't be light, but they will be extra strong, after all, some of them are meant to finish the race even on punctured tire. Most of 16" of such should clear our stock brakes with ease. There are even some 15" that may fit, but it's harder to find clearing wheel model/size/offset, but possible. Slight acceleration loss from upping tire overall diameter, as eg. Leonardo suggested, for even more sidewall height increase, may help too. Of course, steering may become less sharp .. but then again, one needs to choose, track toy on good tarmac or something that can be driven over awful potholes without minding.
