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?

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.

My 96 Z28 has the original 16’ rims with 235/60/16 tires which makes it 0.75 inch higher than running original size 245/50/16, road handling is still ok although a bit waggling when pushing it.
245/50/16 and 235/55/16 are not available here in Europe, so I’m thinking going 225/55/16 instead as that will give almost same height as 245/50/16
