Do OE ones fit closer? Again, it depends. I've seen some that are tight and some not, so I don't think it's all 'one' way or not. There may also be variances in the column, and/or shaft.

I have some originals if you want to try one.

Here's this repo one,,,the center hub is about the thickness of a piece of paper lower than the edges. I wonder how that compares to one of your originals?
