If you can somehow obtain revised registration documents for it, absolutely yes. But the costs to obtain revised documents, if just to change tyre sizes, are absolutely astronomical in Southern European countries. Put it this way: if you want to legally run a different tyre size on a car registered in France or Italy it’s much cheaper, faster and convenient to “fictionally sell” the vehicle to a German company that will carry out the modifications, obtain a registration for it and then sell it back to you than doing it locally. Imagine replacing an engine.
Then of course there are plenty of people running all sorts of crap out there and always getting away with it, but always assume you don’t belong to that group.
There’s a guy locally who owns a Nissan Figaro. It’s 100% original but just to get it registered he had to jump so many hoops I have always wondered if it was worth for what’s basically an ancient Micra.
