Wheelbase question with sprocket change

Ok here is my question guys. I just bought a 16/44 vortex sprocket set for my bike , as of now I am 64 inches if I put the sprockets on and dont add any chain how much wheelbase will I lose? I might add chain anyway to make it 65 or 66 inches cause i figure with the lower gears I might need a little more length to fight wheelies even though I am 285 pounds. What do you guys think?

I had the 16/41 and put the 44 on the back. Guessing by the look it lost about an Inch.

I think an inch is to much dont you With the difference in gearing 63 inches this thing is going to be a wheelie machine... looks like it is time for a new chain. Any advice on which chain to get keep in mind I ride my bike on the street everyday and most of my racing is street racing
