I have a car cake in my album that I made for my brother last summer. I made the car out of a bread pan and put it on top of a 10" square pan. It worked really well and served around 50 I believe. The bread pan is super easy to carve the cake shape out of.

Here is a link to the picture

You will need to make your cake high enough to carve it. I am sure you could use the pan you have to make it work. I found that making the tires ahead of time and allowing them to dry they turned out better.
