[Space] How Big Can Gas Giant Moons Get?

I'm wanting to have a lower tech sci-fi setting by using the moon system of a gas giant as my setting some of the moons are habitable, with the TL ranging from 5 to 7, and the over all set resembling the scramble for Africa, with the extra moons taking the place of Africa. My question then is how big can I make these moons? Both in Earth mass' and Earth diameter's?
