Depends on why your car stopped accelerating. If you were at red line in high gear, you are "gear limited" Changing the diameter of the wheel package will affect top speed. If you were not at red line you are "power limited" changing the tire size will not change top speed.

When it stopped accelerating in top speed was it from lack of power or
from auto gearbox?
How much the top speed raises?
