Message	there will be so much torque lost to rotational inertia of your heavier wheels, you will be gimping in comparison to stock wheels and stock sized tires! Thats why companies always brag about lowering "unsprung weight," especially at the wheels. The more weight you have, the more torque is lost in static rotation! I you want some equations and a detailed explaination, let me know. But I would run light wheels, thats why Arnel's Z looks ridiculous with 15" TE37's in the rear, not for show but for all go!
