You can also buy the regular size raingutter towers (bought mine used from eBay) and then make your own extensions with 4" pieces of square or round pipe that have a matching diameter, or you can buy a highrise kit for them. It may be more hassle than you want, I did it because I had access to the welding shop at work, and because the eBay seller I usually buy from did not have the hirise towers, or the 'highrise kit', but did have regular raingutter towers.
I posted that sellers name in another thread a few months back BTW. I just ran out and took these pics for you:

I use Thule towers. 11 inches. They are great. Make sure you get the newer kind - older style of attaching can crack your roof.
