Ahhhh! So youre looking for a bolt (lug) that has the taper under the head -- yes? (like a LUG bolt!!) Now that may indeed be a bit of a pill to find....

Yes sir, might just have to order them online...?

What about drilling them out and using 1/2-20 ?  Those are plentiful everywhere.

 

You could get the press in studs.  You might have to mill a flat surface on the back of the hub for the head of the bolt to seat on.

 

Not sure how this would work with your wheels though, might have to drill them out also.

Or, if you don't want the extra expense of upsizing the system, Amazon has a bunch of 'em available, open and closed end.

Here's one, 18 pcs for $19

Do you know the taper on the lug nut seat on your wheels?  Is it 60° ?
