Warning!! Brake Failure!!

I'm looking to buy new rims. I'm currently using the stock rims on my 1999 Civic DX (185/65/14). The rims I'm looking at (Velox VX-8R) at 16's and come with 205/40/16 tires. I plugged these numbers in at:

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

And when the results came through it said that the diameter difference is 4.31%, and warned me that with a difference of more than 3% you face a risk of brake failure. This is kinda scary.... Does anyone know if this is true? Any insight would be great. Sorry so noobish...
