Default What size are the OEM rear license plate screws?

Ordered this plate: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Stai...r/113826764786

Unfortunately I had a dealer installed plate with only 2 screws with a hex head. The screw covers wouldn't fit and my new plate requires 4 screws so I'm looking for 4 screws that fit the rear license plate onto the holder and can be used with the screw covers included in the kit. Any ideas as to what size they are or where I can get them. When searching for the dealer parts site, I was only able to find screws for the rear plate holder mount, not the actual screws for the license plate unless they are the same?

Love the frame! Dealership did the same thing with mine. The rears should be M6, and I'd go with 12mm or more for length. To be sure you can take one of your current bolts to a hardware store and they have something you can use to measure the size of the bolt itself. I ordered some ultra flush stainless steel torx head ones that match the rest of the bolts on the body and look great without caps. They're more than you'd pay for screws at the hardware store, but they're also way nicer than anything you'd find there! I've got extras I'd be willing to sell, PM me if you're interested.

Sweet, thanks for the info and the offer! I'll probably just go and grab the screws today since I had to make a trip regardless for other things and the screw covers will mask their appearance.

To fit with a plate frame, you will need M6x12 screws. Without a plate frame, it's M6x8.

Do not over tighten the screws.
