I put a set of tires on the green wagon. Dad bought a new big station wagon and wanted Michelins on it so he gave me the tires that came on his wagon. They were too big. If you turned the steering wheel all the way one way of the other they rubbed.

Later I got an Audi. Then as a truck to mow lawns I bought a 64 Ford Window van. The kind with the motor between the seats. It had a set of tires in the back that were the same rim size as the Audi. They were bigger than the stock size, but didn't rub and made the little Audi look a LOT better.

The only vehicle I've ever owned that I didn't replace the tires one was the 81 Full Size GMC Jimmy. It had huge wheels and big 34" Uniroyal Off road radia tires. I wanted them to wear out so I could BF Goodrich off road tires. Think that's why I never got stuck with them and they never wore at all. When I got the truck it had only big shocks lifting it enough to fit the big Uniroyal tires. I put a real 4inch lift kit on it and it drove a LOT better and didn't eat drive shaft U joints.

Kinda funny I went from a full size 4x4 blazer to a 914, then back to another full size blazer. Kinda like off-road, on-road, off-road opposites.
