Default US licence plate screw size?

I would like to know the screw size of the licence plate? I would like to mount the plate only w/o any frame. So it should be pretty short. Thanks.

Default US license plate screw size

For the rear plate, you want M6 x 10mm. Pep Boys has the License-Tite brand, p/n# 45964. Front plate is different, so I'm told.

Default Reverse FRAME Plate

On my A8, I reversed the FRAME TRIM PLATE. This allows the screws to be used and still have a frameless look. I prefer this since the license plate could scratch the license plate area.

My understanding is that the screws provided by Audi do allow for frameless installs - it's the dealers that switch them. Either ask for the original screws or reverse the plate as I did.
