Personally I'd bolt them down on risers so you're not trapping sitting water. You won't need much, just enough for it to flow and evaporate.

agree would use spacers/risers and counter sunk bolts with nylon lock nuts. I would also put a dab of gasket paste on the spacers that contact the paint on the frame, the gasket paste will protect the paint from grit. you could use rubber or fibre washers, but gasket paste is just as good.
