Are you using that special tool to hold the nut in place (the one with the two little tabs)? That helps a lot to really crank those suckers down properly. Darkmother's suggestion of making washers also works (especially if you're not using single stack c.r. bolts), but there is an easier solution, which I have employed from time to time: Buy five washers at the hardware store, which should run you about $2.
