Default Love to lift 1 inch

I love my base model 1995 Camaro, but she sits way to low for me. So, I'm wondering is it possible to raise her up at least 1 inch?
tlI was thinking maybe a lift kit or even maybe changing the rim size to adjust to taller tires. But I'm not sure which would work. Any suggestions?

measure from the ground to the fender at the center of the wheel. should be about 27.5 inches. post a picture it may have aftermarket springs.

A lower ride height can also come from sagging springs. Just replacing the springs could give you an inch. You could also go with a 215/65 R16 to give you another 1/2" I would not recommend it long term but you could just put spacers under the rear springs and under the front struts bearing plates. You could use steel/aluminum for the front since it is bolted in but I would find a delrin or rubber spacer for the back. If you kept those lifts at or under a 1/2" I think you would still be ok.

Changes in suspension require front end alignment afterwards.
