You're only raising the car by the difference in radius, not diameter. Unless the new tire is 2.4" taller, you're not raising the car by 1.2"
The car is supported by the hub of the wheel, not sitting on top of the tire.
You will decrease gap to the fender by 0.6" as well though, so even though the car is higher from the ground the gap is smaller and it'll look lower. With that a 0.6" drop will get the car back to the original ride height, but you will have reduced fender gap by 1.2".
