Drivers side rear (offside) is conventional nut so would be anti clockwise to tighten it therefore not direction of tyre rotation. All I know is that the REAR passenger side is a reverse thread as I found out the hard way when I put a powerful impact gun on it and snapped the thread due to thinking it was a normal thread.

The fronts on a 2wd car are tightened from the inside of the car, the rears are tightened from the outside hence the different thread. On a 4x4 the fronts both have normal (RH) thread and you need to knock a small piece of the nut into a recess in the driveshaft to prevent it from loosening.
