I’ve had to buy 4 new tires for my Civic Type R in less than 2 years. The low profile tires just cannot take day to day driving. Is there a substitute wheel/tire combination that allows a thicker sidewall?

What tires did you buy ? The tires that come on many new vehicle are not noted for long mileage use.  
Any good tire and wheel shop can show you what will fit .  
I have 235-18-40 Pirelli P6 on and they are wearing just fine.
