Are these geared motors holes

http://www.hobbyengineering.com/H1415.html

the same size as these

it may seem like an odd question, but I bought two of those right shaft geared motors and I have yet to find an axel that fits inside of it (no i didnt buy the wheels that came with it)

 

In other words would those sparkfun wheels be able to mount on the hobby engineering motors(same size?)

Unfortunately, no. The GM3 and GM9 series motors use a solarbotics stype hub - the gears you showed from sparkfun have a Tamiya 3mm type hub.

 

You need some of these :-)
