Default Another vote for "fat" rivets

+1 for Steve's post!

This is one my favorite riveting "cheats". It doesn't take much of a squeeze to fatten a -4 or -4 rivet enough to fill a slightly-oversized hole. As a side benefit, the rivet sets a lot easier because the rivet doesn't have as much of an opportunity to clinch or bend over as it expands.
