Moving the cones (and their associated locknuts) would only change the amount of axle protruding from the locknuts... to keep the bearings properly adjusted, the cone and locknut on the opposite side would have to be moved in the same direction.

If there were enough room between the fork blades, a spacer might be able to center the rim. Or the wheel could be "dished" slightly... and then it *would* only go in one way.
