Also is getting it registered or whatever is required where you live feasible? Home built designs are not easy in some states. (If I were to - I'd buy the cheapest trailer I could find and use its VIN and title and hopefully not get caught.) That's all that matters.

I'm no expert on this, and I assume the car tires will indeed work, but those in the know say there's a reason trailer tires are built differently, and can cost more than car tires. Maybe do a little research on the subject before pulling the trigger at Walmart.
