Like Tony does, I always tighten the spinners with the car up on jack stands and then give them a few more good whacks when the tires are on the ground. You do not want to only hand tighten them in the air and then try to fully tighten on the ground. You can gain a little bit of wheel movement when the weight of the car is on it on the ground, but not enough to pull the tire in much more than a little bit. Sometimes when you have placed the wheel on and hand tightened the spinner the first few whacks will move the wheel in a substantial distance. You can put some resistance on the tire with your leg or hand as you tighten with the hammer to ensure that you have pulled the wheel in all the way.
