Maybe this is the wrong forum to be asking such a question on...

I bet they do, because such 2nd-hand vehicles keep coming into Subic port. They really do pimp their vehicles, and they come in wide variety too, not just limited to Isuzu Bighorns (Troopers), including
2-door SUVs (Suzuki Jimny, Mitsubishi Pajero, a few Bighorns)
4 X 4 minivans (Yes Mitsubishi Delica I'm looking at YOU)
I haven't seen many with super-sized tires though. But I am amazed that sometimes they don't take out the pimped equipment (foglights, extra side and rear mirrors, metal bumpers) before shipping them over, so we get all the goodies.
They just dump their old vehicles (trucks, construction equipment, SUVs, some cars) onto countries like mine and Vietnam, and we have special right-wheel-->left-wheel-drive conversion kits. These vehicles are unsafe, but they sure are cheap!
