That wheel is on the passenger side, so it is reverse threaded. Had it been on the driver's side, the safety wire would be in the opposite direction. Not all spinners are reverse threaded on the passenger side, but most are. Personally, I think you should leave your safety wire tight ... but that's a personal preference and others choose to leave a little slack or "loop" in the wire. Actually, it's easier to leave slack than it is to get it tight... maybe that's why they prefer to do it that way.
