There's only a few things that you can do to your suspension to support bigger rims and tires & that is to modify the suspension and weight distribution of the car. You will probably have to change the size and type of shocks, springs, brakes, etc. and after you do all of that there is really no assurance that your handling will be improved.
When engineers design an automobile they determine the best wheel size and tire size ratio for that vehicle. Any time you alter that design, such as your case where you are installing larger rims and shorter tires, you essentially affect the overall design.
When installing larger rims and shorter tires, you are usually doing it at the expense of a rougher or less plesant ride from the car. For most who like the big rims, this is a trade-off that they are willing to accept.
