if the spacers were new they may have got some galv residue on the threads , try one of your new nuts on and see how the go on

you can give the threads a gently wire brushing to clean them up a bit

B4V sell wheel nuts if you've over tightened them and ruined the threads. It's something I've been guilty of before.
