Are you trying to say that the handling is worse with larger wheels?

Don't know where you get that from, I've got 16" alloys and, although the ride is a bit harsher, the cornering and handling is better than the 14" I'm using at the moment.

No adjustment was needed to the setup.

Hi yeah well some 1 told me off here not to go bigger then 15 inchs he has a mk 1 Scirocco i meet at the classic car show in Brigham at the NEC in 2009 sep, and when i used to volksmania out this way but do not any more as they charge me to much Paul there said to go no bigger then 17inch, but to be honest you dont until you try this your self to see what you think your self ie your on views on it like you saying 16s are ok, unless its absolute no no, its all trial and error.
