sketchy handling wide wheels

Hey everyone, I just went to a flared setup for autocross. 18x10.5. when I'm driving 50ish or slower there is no problems. I know its normal for the bigger tires to grip the road more and pull the car a little with the road. But when I'm driving fast in a turn and shifting it pulls hard the opposite direction of the turn. Is there anything I can do to make the car feel more stable and less sketchy? Or is it just how bigger tires act? just had an alignment done.
my suspention- coilovers, swaybars and endlinks.

Thanks

So, it doesn't pull opposite of the turn in a fast corner when you don't shift?
