Try that link, 11 r 24.5 tires should figure around 44 inch tall, 42 for lo 24.5s and 11 22.5.  dont recall tire height for lowpro 22.5s.  B designation means the OD is .75:1 IIRC. Just plug in your numbers and figure out where you want to be RPM wise.  I run tall 24.5 rubber with 4.42 rears and run 65 to 70 comfortably.
