Plated-through Hole for Good Solder Wetting

We all know that plated-through hole is should be larger than lead diamater, but how much larger should it be to get good solder wetting?

pcb design thru-hole

Can anyone give me suggestions on how much clearance around the component lead I should have in order to get good solder wetting and adhesion.

I don't think you should depend on the holes to locate the part when tolerances are important for you.

Making up a jig to hold the parts in the proper location while they are being soldered. It can be fancy for wave soldering or something simple that holds the parts while being hand soldered.
