Thanks for the responses, and info guys.

So I went to Ace Hardware, to see if I could find something comparable, and nothing fit. I had a cranky old guy helping me that knew his stuff, and he couldn’t figure out why it didn’t fit any of the nuts, or screw holes they have for sizing reference. He was stumped as well.

Looks like my only recourse is to take it to the dealership, and make a deal with them. I will ask them to jack the car up, and attempt to install the bolts. If they are able to install them without issue, I’ll pay the bill, and accept that I’m a total numbnut (that is a possibility). If they are unable, then I’m not paying anything, and they should figure it out for free. It’s not my fault the correct bolts don’t fit, so they’re going to take care of it on their dime.

I’m glad I purchased the bolts through the dealership. I’ll let you know what happens.
