can you get springs for a 550 that raise ride height?

My Ride: 07' 550i sport; Sapphire Black/Auburn; sport package; steptronic; navigation with R.T.T.I.; heads up; cold weather package; Logic-7; BMW MOST ipod kit; Motorola V3 snap-in adapter; rear heated seats and rear shades; anthracite headliner; sirrius sat. radio; M-aero kit; OEM style 166 Wheels with 245/35-19 front and 285/30-19 rear Michelin PS2s.
I know its a wierd question, but I would like to use higher profile tires and it would be ideal if I could find stiffer springs that offer a small increase in ride height (1/2 inch). I think the M sport springs would raise a 550 sport, but I don't know if you can go mixing and matching like that... Any info. on taller springs?
Thanks,

coilovers are fully adjustable, so maybe if you get coilovers and jack them up...?

hollywoodtrash had coilovers with his 20" rads. at the most recent socal launch meet, shoot... he was rubbing. and since it was coilovers we told him to raise it, and he said its the highest setting. me and vt were pretty much shocked that it could actually go lower than the height he had at that time.
