1931 Lasalle lug bolts

Somewhere in the lengthy (10 year+) and still ongoing restoration of my 1931 Lasalle, the majority of the lug bolts (24 of 36 total) have been lost.  I didn't think this was a major issue to find a new set but the thread size of the bolts is a 9/16"-12 which is a course thread and all I have been able to locate is 9/16"-18 fine thread bolts.  Seems like the fine thread bolts were used on many different cars of the era but I am wondering why Cadillac used the course thread ones?

Before I go ahead with an alternate plan, I thought I would ask if anyone knows of a source for these bolts?

Thank you for the help
