These tyre sizes do indeed exist, most common conversion is 235/40/18 or 245/40/18. Most e-series falcons came out with 205/65/15 tyres and the makers allow for a 15mm difference in tyre diameter, the later e-series falcons had the option of factory 16inch wheels and the 235/40/18 is within the diameter limits
