Because 95% of vehicle are made with unibody construuction meaning that the body is the frame. Rubber obvioulsy would not support the weight.

Who said they haven't? Many Saturns use a sort of rubber / plastic material for most of the outside body panels, although they need steel for the hood, floor pan, and some other areas to give it enough rigidity. Most cars don't have frames anymore, so you need some amount of rigid material in the bodywork to hold it together.

Can you imagine how bad for the environment that would be? We have enough trouble just getting rid of the tires from vehicles much less an entire vehicle.

Difficult to wash, for sure it will lose the shape sooner, and it would probably be more expensive.
