ceiling fan question for the garage

I asked this question once but I have a few follow up questions. I'm going to add a single ceiling fan in my 24 x 26 garage. It will be centrally located. The plan is to mostly use it on low speed to help distribute AC and heat. I'm thinking a 52 " is sufficient. I will go with something that has remote control for both the fan and lights as it's 14 ' up to the ceiling peak. With a 4/12 pitch I'm thinking of using a 3 ' to 4 ' long down rod does that sound about right ? The main reason I'm thinking of a 3 ' to 4 ' is the rod will be going through the center of a BBS race wheel which measures 20 " x 20 " . The wheel will be mounted to the ceiling with the down rod through the center for a man cave decoration. So I have to make sure it looks good in proportion to everything. With a 3 ' down rod there shouldn't be any concerns with clearance to the pitched ceiling should there ? Any opinions on 3 ' vs. 4 ' ? I just remembered I have to also worry about the roof of a car/truck when on the scissor lift at it's highest lift height Hmm I need to get a tape measure and figure a few things out. I think I will purchase locally at a box store vs. some fancy commercial job but I will make sure it has LED lighting.
