Sorry I didn't post more details sooner, so now that I am on my actual laptop on not my phone I should probably list it all in one spot.
As far as the studs, there are two options.
1. The studs I am using, which are an M8 thread and will use the smaller set of holes in the JT Sprockets, but will be too small for the stock sprocket which only has one pattern.
Part #: 90128-361-000
2. Alternate part number, and an M10 thread. These would be a more direct replacement to the stock studs, although I don't know if the thread pitch is the same. I may order these in the future, but I am happy with my current ones. These would use the larger holes on a JT sprocket, and would also work with the stock sprocket.
Part #: 90128-KE2-940
As far as the nuts, yes I essentially went to Ace Hardware and picked out some "serrated" flange head nuts. I did not use Stainless, but only because they didn't have any M8x1.25 flange head stainless nuts. Your other option would be normal nuts, with a lock washer and normal washer under them.
If you do the studs and nuts, tighten it all up, and still have a little wiggle in the sprocket, then 4 wave washers did the trick for me. They tend to be very thin and made a great shim to take up the gap between the sprocket and snap ring that I had.
Something I also did, but is probably not necessary, was to put 2 or 3 tiny little dabs of Loctite 620 retaining compound on the studs. This was more done for insurance, and given the forces that the studs see, has probably already released anyway. If not...I may have fun removing the studs later as even a tiny bit of that stuff can be a bear to break free. So for that reason I would say maybe skip that part.
