Okay people, here is a curly one for you,

Does anybody know, what was the FIRST Falcon to be available with 16" diameter wheels?

I will reply to the first correct answer. Lets see what people come up with.

Bonus points for wheel width and tyre size.

(I can now see Discovery rummaging through old records.........)

xacoupe

do we count such things as the EA SVO or Brock falcons??

the first regular production ford I can think of would be the ED XR8 sprint

No mate, not counting Brock or SVO Falcons. Just Falcons as you purchased them off the showroom floor.

ED Spint is not the correct answer, yes it did come with 16" wheels standard, but there was one that came out before that.

Keep trying!

No mate,
XF Fairmont came with 14" x 6" steel wheels. Try again.
