Do I need bigger brakes?

I'm thinking about upgrading from my stock 185/70/14 tires to 205/45/17 and I was wondering if I'm going to need to buy a big brake kit since this is such a drastic increase in tire size??

stock brakes will be fine. if you're worried still, upgrade your brake pads from OEM to maybe hawks of axxis pads. but i wouldn't worry.

yea no reason even though your right it will cause more rotational mass, but overall your acceleration will be slower
