Default Little Bit More Height?

Can a get a tire with a little bit more height to it? I would like to raise the rear of the car .5", I'm running a 275/40/17. The car is lowered 2" all around and am now dragging a new exhaust setup. Wheels are enkei win wheels 17 x 9.5.

Half an inch is alot to gain with a tire that will work with those wheels. The only tire that will work is a 285, but you might gain .2" if that....If your that low, change the rear springs IMO.

Your ABS will hate you . . . unless the front and rear tires are close to the same OD.

Just do it the right way. Like everyone said in your thread in the Suspension section, change the springs.
