I'm concerned that a 3.5% increase in size may cause brake failure. Anyone with 18's still running the stock brakes without problem?

If you guys have experience with the stock brakes being ok, that makes me feel a bit better. I'm not concerned with looks, but rather with the safety of them holding up and not failing due to the oversized wheels.
