Default metzeler tyres

need to get a technical spec on an Metzler me 888.
the Tyre is an 200/50-18.
I would like to find the overall Hight in mm and inches as I've got a custom rear fender on my bike and need this spec for a possible project.
I've tried Metzler's website but won't let me download the tech specs for some reason.

Although for the purpose of the OP 26.25" would probably be a safe bet to run with.

Is that a guesstimate or do you have the actual tire and rim combo as recommended for the tire??
