Default Break drum size, how to tell

without taking the wheel off, how can I find out what size my brake drums are. they ask when buying brakes 9, 10, 11 inch how the hell do I know, by the way it is a 97 dak sport bought used. And if I take the wheel off, inside diam, or outside?

you can always just jack up the rear end, drop off a tire, remove the hub case and check the measurement yourself. i believe it is 9".
