Rack and Pinion is a Steering mechanism.

It is designed to amplify the movement of your steering wheel so you don't have to turn your steering wheel so much to get from lock to lock.

I have never heard about having to change anything like that when you get larger rims, unless you go so wide that you need more power to turn the wheels meaning you will need a different toothed pinion gear.
