Thought about it and yep - only is applicable to a center nut

OK, try this if you have a lathe with a 4-jaw chuck. Chuck a threaded rod off-center, simulating one of the lug bolts. Put on a loose-fitting nut and carefully mark it's position by the # of threads from the end, or any other way that doesn't add friction. Then run the lathe thru a series of abrupt accelerations and modest slow-downs (or visa-versa), and recheck the position of the nut.
