You still can use the gearing calc to do the math, I used it also. At the end once it spits out all the numbers you just divide tire circumference by total reduction ratio. That's all it is, one division after using the speed calc, doesn't get much simpler than that. I think the way I discussed it makes it seem overly complex. Give it a try, like I said the result might surprise you. I mainly want to see what others have their rollout at, so would a few of you mind humoring me and posting your rollout?

Everything I said above can be summed up as: tire circumference/total reduction ratio = rollout, try to get it close to 1
