Are they available, and does anyone have any experience with them?

why not go see an auto engineer and get your hilux certified with the big wheels on it as long as they don't fowl the body it shouldn't be to hard.

Most inspection places/police/authorities and importantly insurance people know the stock sizes for most vehicles. No sticker is going to save you. Engineering is the way to go.
I might be wrong.

2005 SR Hilux 1KD - SOLD
2009 BMW X5 - destroyed by a hail storm
2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 - SOLD
2015 Ford Ranger

Funny you should ask. Instead of two 3" thick books, I received in the mail the other day a single 10mm thick book for both yellow & white pages. Maybe they're localizing things a bit more nowadays?
I should note that its been a few years since I had received one until just the other day (Last Thursday).
