Check your vehicle documents first, you will find they show all wheel and tyre combinations / sizes / speed ratings that you are legally permitted to fit. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Learn to drive properly would be a start. Then you might learn the size of your vehicle.

Maybe this would be more up your street?

Go to the 19 inch rim and fit tyres with some sidewall depth. That will do more to protect your rims than trying odd-sized tyres. Smaller rims with deeper sidewall tyres lift the rims higher above the road / kerbs which reduces kerb strike. Also, higher profile tyres will tend to have a bit more "belly" in the sidewall which also protects the rims.

Alternatively, you could just ignore the odd kerbing graze and get on with enjoying the drive. As long as rim and tyre are safe, does it really matter if the rim has a scuff here and there?  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Full fats run 295/40/20 in same size rims. When I asked tyre guy, they were three hundred quid less than 275's. Due to the shape of the rims they don't sit out further so unless you buy a tyre with protecting rim you are still going to hit your rim before tyre. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
