Cool part of a bike's rim and swing-arm.. you just take the axle bolt out, and drop the rim/tire.

Bike rims will accept car tires.

the only thing that really needs to be adressed is whether the bike's swing arm will handle the torsional/lateral loads of a small <1 ton car, even with the worst drivers in terms of cornering.

I'm sure you could use a cheap LP tire, since I can get Wanli 18" tires for less than most standard passenger sizes.. and they still last for up to 30,000 miles.
