Not sure about you, but my eyeballing tolerances aren't up to spec.
It would be pretty obvious. The less fallible option is to actually jack the car, remove the lugs (or just loosen them) and see if there's ANY radial movement of the wheel on the hub. There should be zero movement. It don't think there's any reason to pull out the calipers to measure to the thousandths of an inch.

It's also possible to center a hub centric wheel with the tapered seat lugs. It's plausible this is why folks saw improvements following wheel balancing and other services where the wheels were removed.
