Not so (as much) with the lug nuts. Vibration yes. But they're far enough away from the heat source so as not to undergo the extreme heat cycling the caliper bolts do. Hey.. I don't make the rules. I just (sometimes) try to follow them!!! And the only reason this came up is someone asked a question. sheeeeeeesh.
