the dowls and studs will brake every now and then
only under huge loads i.e locker one wheel air born then slaming down and perfict grip or towing a 3000kg load with a locker on.

10 mm studs
you can get 100series studs they are 10mm with cone and washer nut
it works a treat straight from toyota thats what i have done note if you can break 8mm studs. 10mm you can still twist so add a dowl and it should be all good and get some extras for spares
