Tight enough to not move or rattle.

The spokes should not click when you are driving, too.

Very tight. You should have to pound or press it in place. Maybe a bit less tight if you have wood felloes as you wouldn't want to split the felloe. (I assume you mean where the tenon fits into the felloe?)

if you are installing into a steel felloe you may wish to build a spoke press

If it ain't tight, it ain't right.
