Default Dumbest, most simplistic question ever.

What's the thread & pitch of the screws in the license plate holes? I just can't seem to find it listed anywhere.

They're M5 or M6 with standard metric pitch. Now you're 2/3 way there. I'd pull one and put it into my thread sizer but just left on a trip this morning.

M6 X 1.0 is the answer, for future reference.
