The final drive of any car is determined by the combination of the rear end ratio and the final drive of the transmission. I think that in the 107's the lowest final ratio you can get STOCK is in the 1980's cars with a 1:1 transmission and a 2.43 rear end.
That would mean that for 2.43 turns of the engine you would get 1 turn of the rear wheels.
A five-speed (.87 overdrive) 3.5 with a 3.69 rear would get you a final drive of 3.21 (.87*3.69).
And ,of course, you can further change the distance covered by each turn of the engine by varying the tire size.
