Theoretically no, however using larger wheels adds weight which in turn decrease top speeds. Also, the use of larger wheels increases the amount of output an engine must make to make them turn, thus decreasing output. The other side is that a larger wheel increases the vehicle's footprint which in turn handles traction and torque much better. Thus, a happy medium would be optimal.
