Went out & measured---3/4" protruding out of spinner.
1/2" unthreaded starter nipple--approx 2 threds=1/4" Total--3/4"

So if yours are manufactured the same, you do not have proper thread engagememt

The first thread from the outside of my hub is 1/4" in from the end. The outer most thread on the spinner is recessed about 3/8ths so trust me, they are fully engaged and the wheels are sitting flat against the hubs. The spinners from Vintage Wheels are deeper than most with more threads and yes, there was a change in the hub dimensions at Vintage Wheels.
