bigger rotors with bigger wheels

I know that bigger is better and bigger pads = better stopping and all that...but if I put 22" wheels with a 305/45R22 tire which is the same rolling diameter as my stock 18's with 265/70R18 tires then how is that more stress on my rotors and pads when coming to a stop? I wouldn't guess the weight to be more since the tire is smaller and the wheel may weigh more but wouldn't it all kinda wash with the OEM setup? Now the look of a small rotor my be visually out of wack with a big open wheel, but that is just looks. Again, I know what all will come back with, but again, on paper what's the difference? Maybe I'm just tired and need to clear my mind, but I was just thinking about this while I was online looking at wheels for my Titan.

Thanks,
