Also I am not cutting down on sidewall going to this so I guess I will NOT gain any better/stiffer handling? right?

What are the dimensions of the stock wheels? Offset?
No, it won't handle any better. It may actually handle worse.
You aren't getting a lower profile tire if you keep the stock wheel diameter and tire diameter. You are just changing the width and the aspect ratio, which is the percentage of the width.
I have 235MM wide tires on my '06 Camry with no problems at all.
