Diff Gearbox and tyre combo

Hi guys
I'm running a 289 with a C4 transmission using a jag 3.1 rear end.
I'm thinking of using an AOD but I'm not sure of what wheel and tyre combo would suit the AOD for the correct rpm .

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

Overdrive will give you about a 30% drop in rpm's, so you can figure out from what you're doing now what you will have with the same combo and od. If it's too slow, you could change gears to a lower (higher numerically) ratio.
