All 1:8 scale tire, rim, wheel nuts compatible?

Guessing there are on road differences but with buggy my Mugen tire and rim sets as well as the 17mm wheel nuts are interchangeable among most other off road brands, correct? Sorry for the newb question.

You are correct! Jconcepts, Proline, AKA (tires and rims), Kyosho, Losi, Mugen (rims) etc are interchangeable.

There use to be a coarse 17mm nut that was different but I haven't seen it used in some time now. Proline vtr truck tires. We'd to be on their vtr rim or you have to cut the tire a little. The buggy rims are all interchangeable.

Size?

Anyone know the actual size of the wheel nut? I live in the middle of bumble-fluff nowhere so hope to get a temporary one from the hardware store while my LHS gets them ordered. Thanks again all.
