"That only leaves 4mm for the thickness of the bearings"
Since you are working with diameters you have to divide by 2, so that actually leaves 2mm for the bearing thickness. It is very unlikely that inner and outer races and balls or rollers with thickness totaling 2mm, strong enough, can be fabricated.
