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.

Why are the wheels of vehicle provided with mudgards?
To help protect the vehicle and other vehicles behind you from flying mud and small stones.
How do you fix bent wheels?

Why are small wheels bad for a mousetrap car?
Small wheels on a mousetrap car can be bad because they rotate more times to cover the same distance compared to larger wheels. This increases the rolling resistance and friction, making it harder for the car to move and reducing its efficiency and speed. Additionally, small wheels may have less traction, leading to slipping and less grip on the surface.
What could you use for wheels for a mousetrap racer?

Do a train's wheels prduce heat when they're rolling?
A very small amount of heat, as compared to an automobile's wheel. Entirely steel wheels have much less rolling resistance than a wheels with big squishy rubber tires.
How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
The kinetic energy of a vehicle is directly proportional to its mass and velocity. A larger vehicle will have more kinetic energy than a smaller vehicle traveling at the same velocity. This means that a larger vehicle will require more distance to come to a stop compared to a smaller vehicle, all else being equal.
What defines a car?
A road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people.
