I believe that both Helicoils and Timeserts use an STI Tap.

The drilling size for these taps are:

M8 x 1.25 Insert - 8.3mm with a max diameter of the tapped hole being 9.8mm

M12 x 1.5 Insert - 10.3mm with the max diameter of the tapped hole being 12.13mm

I would use a coarse thread into both Aluminium of Magnesium.
