My point was that the torque being applied to the wheels via the drive shafts or brakes is handled by the pins or studs or whatever, not by friction of the wheels to the hubs. That being the case, it is not necessary to tighten the spinners beyond reasonable amounts. For me that means snug plus a couple of firm hits with a lead hammer.

I always safety wire with a little slack in the wire. If the slack disappears (which it never has) I would re-tighten.
