My 85 Van Dieman has 9:31. Running either American Racer slicks or Avon Vintage tires. Both are officially listed at 22.3" tall.
I found a thread on Apexspeed that said
17:34 or 16:31
20:32 or 18:28
22:30 or 20:27
23:28 or 19:24
Actually lower gears than my home track of Gimli (GMP). (Or the recommendations on Apexspeed were for a 10:31)
Glad to have your input.

Sorry for slow reply; I don't go on this sight very often.
Gearing you are showing is very close (I'm sure we all have slight variations but those will work fine).
On my LD200 with a 10/31 on AR tires I have:
17/34
19/32
17/25
23/29
Mission is tight track, hard on brakes, make sure you have fresh pads and well bled brakes with fresh fluid.
