The only MFR I found for that size is Pirelli and they supplied those to Bentley for their Continental S and T models. That said they're hard as hell to find. You may try taking a trip to a Bentley dealership or try this website and see if it has still any in stock.
285/45R18 Tires
Alternatively you could try different tire sizes that come close to that in size but remember to stay within 4% variation from OEM. So something like 295/45/18, 305/45/18 or 315/40/18 would be good if they don't rub against suspension bits.

Thats the problem I have the offset from the 99-04 rims on (the black saleens) So im not sure I can run a wider tire ...

Use this. It's a nifty tire/wheel size calculator that gives you precise measurement and visual diagrams to help with the choice. Everyone looking to plus size should use this tool.

Here is another wheel and tire fitment guide
This one will do your offset also

285/40/18 is teh size you should be getting, its much closer to stock size, actually its the size the gt500's run in the rear. i have this size bfg kdw's on my car, and they look great, good amount of sidewall and i usually like the lower profile look( stepped down from 20's to the 18's)
i dont think you will find a 285/45 anywhere with the exception that walter mentioned

As it has been mentioned before 285/40 is an OEM size and is not difficult at tall to get a hold of at tire shops so I'd say go with that.
I would try match.com or the local singles ads.
Not even Barby has those numbers, more of a V shape than an hour glass too...
When I get new wheels and tires I plan on going with 285/35/18s.
