Rear brakes are sqeaking, so I started to pull the rear wheels to put some stop squeak on the pad backs. Unfortunately, the largest allen I have is an 8 mm. They appear to be 10-12mm? Anyone know for sure before I go buy a whole set? Thanks in advance.

The allens are 10mm.
That "stop squeak" WILL NOT get rid of the squeaking! That stuff is to stop a rattling pad that is loose on a caliper. Your squeak is from brake dust. If you were to clean out all of the dust, your squeak will be gone for a short time. Best thing to stay ahead of squeaking is to brake a little more aggressively! :D

Thanks Chuck. You are correct. I washed the brakes, suspension, and wheel wells when I had the wheels off. It stopped the squeaking yesterday but it came back this morning on my Arby's run. Oh well.
