Depends on the drill and how its setup. Ours has 7.60-16 on it. Manual lists 3-4 different sizes available for them.

Thanks for correcting me I forgot the earlier models had 16" wheels.

Doesn't matter, as long as both are the same size. If one is bigger OD, that side will put out more seed than the other side. If you don't have the same size, you can adjust air pressure, till the center of the bearing cap on each side measures the same, from a flat, level concrete pad.

Not to get to technical but the bigger one will put out less seed not more. Think about it.
