I think mines a 12". I would highly suggest that you borrow some different ones or make some mockups as you can run into trouble with the larger ones. Mostly with hitting your knees and entry/exit. Everyone has a different seat/column geometry so I don't think anyone can say what will work for you. Also, the amount of dish the wheel has is very important.
