Default How can I protect the front hubs? Wider tires

I have problems with dinging up the rims and hubs. What is the best way to protect them from rocks? can you put wider tires in the front??

Would you rather ding the rim or puncture the sidewall? I figure dinged rims are part of the ride.

Ive dinged my rims every ride and not had to replace a rim yet. If I cut a sidewall every ride I would buy stock in Goodyear. I have never damaged a hub though. (Knock on wood) Even the plastic caps have survived.
