2-3 inch lift

I have 20x7.5 inch rims on my 1996 acura rl i got the fender wells rolled and the rims dont rub at all no matter how hard i turn or if i have a car full of people. Would a camber kit work if not what would i need to do to raise my car up just a little taller maby like 2-3 inches so that i can put 22 inch rims on it, and is there an after market controll arm i can get that dosent stick out like the factory ones.

Nobody in their right mind would make a lift kit for an RL, and I'm not sure how a camber kit would even begin to solve your problem.

...and don't make repeat posts https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3439

Most of those donk rides are custom old cars. They simply don't have a kit. Why the heck would you want a sophisticated car to look like it was made by some hood rat? If you want an donk just get an old chevy, or a truck. Acura has way too complicated of a suspension to just lift. It will ruin your car just for a stupid trend. If you want big rims get either an 18 or a 20x7.5 with a 40+ offset and you wont have problems. Have you even put thought into the brakes to stop those big wheels?

I already have 20x7.5 inch wheels with 235-35-20 and nitto is the only one that i know of that makes a tire for them and you are right they do not rub at all. would i be able to go say 20x8.5 so that i can dodge paying $300 for a tire and could you explain to me about how off set works.

Remember, putting giant wheels on your RL won't enlarge any of your body parts.
