I tried looking at the GM numbers that were 9/16 thread from the chart (including the 5238559) but none of them cross referenced to anything current and I could not find their respective serration diameters.

I removed one of the existing (original) wheel studs and the serration OD is approx. 0.555. It seems that 9/16 threaded studs would not pass through the serration opening.

All of the 9/16 thread studs I can find are 0.625 to 0.655 serration OD so it appears if I am going to pursue this I may need to have the hubs bored slightly to accept a larger serration.

These things are never easy.
