I went and slapped an HPI 'Cuda shell on my XXX-S G+,so I can use the super wide 32mm,10mm offset rear and 28mm,4mm offeset Kawada VX rims I had layin' around.
As you can see,the Losi 8/32 wheel nuts are a tight fit!
Does anyone have a part number,or know of some off the shelf nuts with a smaller outer diameter?
Tightening the last few threads of wheel nuts is getting old and I don't want to scuff up my rims...
Gotta say that the Kawada D2 drift tires are awesome,even with 10x2 Reedy motor!
And it looks real evil sliding sideways on full opposite lock!

What a sweet looking car! I had to look close at that first shot to determine I wasn't looking at the real thing. Can't help with the nuts though.

Thanks,Scampi!
Good for beating on kids with TT-01's with Toyota Levin bodies and PVC drift tires!

If you could only make it rumble like a HEMI.

That looks fantastic!! The only thing I can suggest, that I found that the Losi nut driver wrenches seem to have a much slimmer socket, and can fit into tighter rims. I had that problem with some proline wheels for my desert truck. A standard socket would not fit in the rim, but the Losi wrench fit just fine.

I'm not sure you'll be able to find a nut for a #8-32 screw much smaller than 11/32", I'm not sure what the size is now.

One option would be to buy a couple of standoffs, so that the nutdriver doesn't need to extend into the wheel as much, something from this link, basically, a 'tall' 1/4" nut:
