Does anyone know what mm bead size fits size 16 and 18 hooks
 
I don't what they recomend, matter of fact I think that most of the bead/hook charts are off.

I go by eye and what looks the best to me. This of course for bead heads.

If yu are refering to bead bodies I can't help.
 
2 mm and the 1.5 mm will work for most hooks of course it all depends on the curve of the hook.

MKern's system is what I use. Here is a pretty good chart - it lists specific hook styles and brands, so it works better than most generic charts:
