Default which gear and tire combo ?

i want to put a c-4 in place of my t-5. i need to know what gear and od tire to run. i want to top out at 6000 rpm in drive and be at 150 mph. i was thinking 28" tire and 3.27 gear. but im not sure anybody know the formula to figure it out. my turbo gt builds enough torque to get it rolling so im not worried about launching.
