You just flunked your math exam.
Halving the gear ratio would be the same as doubling the tire height.
Mathematically, 18" (stock) tires with 6:1 and 37" tires with 12.44:1 (stock) gears would roughly have the same torque and speed.
FWIW: 26" tires with stock gears roughly equates to stock tires with 8:1 gears.
