Clearly closer to 16mm
In general inexpensive tools are a sloppier fit than expensive ones. So you really are not going to know until you try your tools on the nut or bolt in question.
Also 7/8 and 22mm are similar the 22mm being tighter (at least sompared to my wrenches).
Here is a metric conversion site:

Fractional sizes need to be converted to decimals where needed.
