Beringer calls out this part as 2.5*36 mm so I think 3/16th would be ok.
2.5 mm is 0.098 inch, so 3/16 (0.1875 inch) might be too big. 1/8 (0.125 inch) might fit. I just order a pack of 10 of the correct size from Beringer to be sure.
The axle nut is actually should be torqued and if memory serves me right, it is 220 in/lb for the axle nut. It is part of their instruction which it is rather poorly distributed.Most likely they are being cautious as this pin is the only method the wheel nut is secured as they instruct one to hand tighten their wheel nut only.

This is the page that I thought instructed me to hand tighten only. I am not sure I have a socket that could get on this nut. It would need to be a very thin wall socket and very deep. My 10 has a round nut (mini-splined) with no flats so not sure how to torque that. From the beginning I have just hand tightened this nut. Unlike Beringer not to make this perfectly clear. Normally their documentation is almost anal.
