engine stress caused by wheel size? Options

[Razgriz]

First note that I looked around but didn't happen to see anything that mentioned this (pardon me if I missed it.)

Ok guys, Im looking into buying some new rims for my car, and I love the way 18's look on the celica. I know that physically they fit on the car no problem, but also i'm planning to put in the silvertop 4age. Now i know the 1.6 4age technically has more torque than the 1.8 7afe, but at a much higher range in the rpm band. Because of this would i be putting any unnecessary stress on the motor during stop and go traffic due to the wheel size?

Basically are 18's to big for a 1.6L? Or am I worrying over nothing?

Thanks ahead of time guys!

larger wheel, more weight, less acceleration, less deceleration (braking) slower handling response, more (i forget the term) but weight the suspension has to move so poorer handling.

most is barely noticeable. but how often are you pushing your car to those limits, except picking up speed which most do all the time unless you drive "normal".
