Ball Seat "R" size

Is the R size the radius of the ball?
I'm buying bolts and have to chose from R12 and R14. Since the ball isn't quite a full hemisphere, I don't know how to measure what I have. Does anyone know what the outside diameter of the ball seat would be on ether an R12 or R14 lug bolt?

I believe the 12 or 14 is the mm for the diameter.

the "radius ball seat" matches the diameter of the bolt in most cases

I believe Prestige Wheel Accessories also has the hybrid lug bolts if you want to comparison shop.
