Default Is 35/30 Sidewall too thin?

I just bought new rims and I'm buying new tires today. I live in NJ and there tends to be a decent amount of potholes. My question is, is it too risky to run 255/35 and 285/30. I'm nervous if the sidewall of 35/30 is too thin, will one decent pothole bend a rim? Any input or past experiences with this please share.

P.S. - I'm leaning toward 35/30 because the tire I am looking for doesn't come with a larger sidewall than 35, or they are out of stock.
