Just keep the final drive ratio the same - around 2.2:1
I'm running a 19 front & 42 rear on me Harris with 17" wheels & 530 chain and it's gearing is pretty good -
could even go a smidge higher geared (less tooths on rear) no probs

You want 1.92 to 1 to equal the original ratio you had with the 18"s.
If you have a chunkier modern swinger then somewhere around 19t front and 38t to 40t rear will help the chain clear the top run.
