If you do washers, the teeth won't grip the splines very well and after a while you'll be sure to strip the handle.

What I did was to remove the handles and put the attachment ends in a vise. I then simply (and carefully) bent the handles out about 15 degrees or so. This gave kind of a wobbly feel to the knobs, so I then bent the knob ends back about 15 degrees. Worked fine.

I have Cerwin Vega speakers in front, and was only lacking a bit of clearance (maybe 1/8").
