Kermit, normal switchable offroad height is 280mm for the FFRR - IIRC Super-extended is either 330mm or 380mm, would need to go out to my car and check the manual. RRE will not be able to do that as it doesn't have airsuspension - its ground clearance on standard tyres is 215mm under the front axle, if you fitted some of the better off road tyres you might get an 5mm or so, although a friend on mine used to run a Freelander1 with the V6 engine and fitting BFG MTR's to that raised the car by 25mm (back to the height of all the other Freelander1's as the V6's had lowered "sports" suspension!)
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
Depends on the type of off-road terrain you want to traverse. The low-profile tyres are designed for the road, so they aren't going to get you across the Sahara, but for the Scottish trails Tim has posted photos of they should be fine.
Note: running with low-profile tyres will increase the risk of getting punctures and rim damage, even on blacktop.

Depends on you definition of low-profile tyres. I would say the 19" and 20" wheels have low-profile tyres but the 17" and 18" don't. Some would say only the 20" are low-profile.
Petrol vs diesel.
