Two solid balls have different radii but...

Two solid balls have different radii but are made of same material. The balls are linked together with a long thin thread and released from a large height. At the terminal velocity, the thread is under tension. The larger ball has a fixed mass, but we have choice of the smaller ball with different masses. At what ratio of larger and smaller mass will this tension be maximum?
