High Coefficient of Friction Rubber Wheels

I wouldn't worry about any wheels in particular spreading balls because the all will eventually. We have the 4" wheels on our shooter. And Ri3D greenhorns used them.

Just remember compression is everything.

Just move the wheels closer together, the compression on the ball will solve your problem.
