Default Slicks on 18s

Dear Ford Guru's I come in search of knowledge.

I'm currently running Yokohama A048R tyres at the rear of my 2WD sapphire cossie. These are 225/40/18. I'm looking for some slicks for the 18's as I've got a spare pair of matching wheels. (Can't remember why, but at the time I bought a set of 6!)

My question is what size slicks can I fit on the rear on 18 Inch wheels. The wheel arches have been rolled, and the plastic inner arches went a long time ago so the limiting factor is probably the coilovers, or the actual bodywork itself.

Any help greatly appreciated.

P.S. had in mind the Yokohams A005 racing slicks which look nice, but baffle me with their sizes.

Cheer.
Matt.

Seems as though its not popular to run slicks on 18" wheels!

Went for another pair of A048s for the rear for track use, and Parada Spec 2s all round for normal road use. It turns out that A005s don't come in 18" size anyway in case anybody else was hoping for some.
