When I went to put in the tire ballooning, I put in the increase in diameter. It's easier for me to think of it that way. Maybe you could add that the tire ballooning is done by the increase in the radius, so people don't put in the tire ballooning as the increase in diameter.
As for how much tires can balloon, I would say 50%. The Geolandars I'm running:

can easily balloon to 6" without any sort of tape on the inside, which is a 50% increase in overall diameter.

Do you think you could add another vehicle's gear ratio? The Rustler/Stampede have 2.72.
