Question overall wheel size/ gearing ratio formula

Hey folks,

I am interested in finding the formula for overall gear ratio with different overall size wheels.

I found a place out of Texas www.chromewheel.com that makes an adapter to take the hubs from 8 lug to 10 lug. This is similar to the rickson wheels but they only have 8 to the larger 8.

My interests was of course.....how bloody big can i go b 4 I run our of top gear ratio. I have a 4.10 rear end & was looking at an overall hight increase to 36". (22.5" alcoa wheels w 245/70/22.5 tyres)

I am afraid to spend that kind of loot and find out 6th gear is useless & i should of went with the 19.5" rims. If anyone can lend me a hand in figuring that out...or point me to the right formula, I would be glad to post pics of the MacMassive pics if it will work.

thanks

Cole
