That makes sense if the outer race can move...
If the outer race wasn't tight, it could move to whatever position the inner sleeve puts it. But the bearing won't move if the outer race is tight, won't move. And there are two of them on each side in this case
I would like to switch to a crown bolt on the axel nut. The front axel is not held by the axel/axel bolt in the front forks. It is clamped in place, so you can put reasonable tension on that bolt. Other than making sure the nut doesn't loosen, I don't see any need for tightening that rear axel nut excessively.
The rear wheel should spin freely. That is probably the real test.
