The pressure doesn't vary between the rim sizes (or at least shouldn't) as the pressure doesn't say anything about the volume.
2.5 bar is a standard safe number. Use the standard pressure for the nearest size you can get... If that is an 18", use that. Keep an eye on it yourself (drive a while, get out and instantly feel the tyre - if hot, then increase the pressure by 0.1 bar until you find it to be cooler - not straight away!).

I've got a slightly more hi-tech approach to Daim's recommendation, based on a tyre manufacturer's recommendation (Cooper Tyres):
