raising the rear

I have a 2000 acura RL. Is there any way to raise the rear an inch or two? I haver finally decided to purchase aftermarket rims for this vehicle. plroblem is most do not fit because of the high offset. I want to raise the rear for tire clearance and for looks.

PLEASE HELP!

First off.. don't. The RL is FWD and will handle even more poorly with a raised rear.

What rims are you getting that you have to raise the car that much?

You shouldn't need to raise the car for any kind of wheel unless your wanting to fit like a 22inch wheel. You should be able to run 20inch wheels and still lower the car. As long as you run the right offset.
