Can you be more specific, which bolts are you interested in? A picture would help to clarify.

the one at the most right where I want to attach the rack. now there is a M6 bolt, but it is too big

On my T50 (Kickstarter) that hole is not threaded. I found a couple of bolts that were 20mm long and a couple locking nuts. I added a washer to keep the bolt from getting too close to the rotating parts. I don’t remember what these bolts came with. They were in my miscellaneous bike fastener bin. Sorry that the pictures aren’t better.
I have not been carrying anything heavy on my rack. So I didn’t attempt to maximize the diameter of the bolts I used. You could use an M5 diameter with washers if you can find the right length.

Another suggestion for cruzbike to make standard threaded holes, either M6 or M5.
I'll go to the "bolt and locking nut" way. should be easy to find bolt, nut and a couple of washers. From the size, the M5 will go through, but need flat heads or small nuts so it doesn't touch the hub or disc.

I did screw on a M6, but as the hole was smaller, I become scared if i damaged it, so i just put M5 with lock

Once you tap the hole to accept M6 bolts, the strength & security goes up, failure rate goes down.
