Short answer: Yes
Vehicle manufactures will put the 'recommended' wheel size (width, aspect and diameter) on the drivers door jamb. You can change the size of the wheels (rims) but you need to consider all aspects of this.
Tires (in the US) have 3 numbers to identify the width, aspect, and wheel diameter
In the example: 205-55-R16 205 represents the width of the tire (how wide it is hitting the ground) The 55 is the aspect (how high the tire is between the road and the rim) and the R16 is the diameter of the wheel or rim.
Changing the width (205-55-R16 to 255-55-R16) will give you a much wider tire for better traction and control. But, a wider tire may rub against wheel wells and fenders. This may not be noticeable until they are actually on the car and driving around as bumps and stuff can effect it.
Changing the aspect (205-55-R16 to 205-35-R16) the lower the number will give you a lower profile tire which means better response and overall handling. Downside to this is, potholes can blow a lower profile tire and damage the rim easier then a higher profile tire.
Changing the size (205-55-R16 to 205-55-R20) will give you a larger rim but will it fit in the wheel well and will it rub etc.?
Changing the size of the wheel at all, will require replacing the tire on it, as well

How does the size and shape of wheels affects the speed of a mousetrap powered toy car?
The size of the wheels affects the speed of a mousetrap car because larger wheels cover more distance per revolution, so they can achieve higher speeds compared to smaller wheels. The shape of the wheels can also impact speed by affecting the amount of traction the car has on the surface, with wheels that are smooth and well-rounded typically rolling more easily and faster than wheels with a rough surface or sharp edges.
