The only reason to go smaller would be cheaper tires and softer ride, assuming you are running the same overall diameter.
If you reduce your overall wheel diameter, your car will be lower but you will actually have more fender clearance. If you go bigger, you will have more ground clearance but you are more likely to rub on your fenders.

No need for a new suspension, but running those skinny tires could lead to a bent rim in pothole season.
