Sand the wheel's a tiny bit? Heat the tire's up a tad [Id suggest maybe in an oven outside?] then hurry and slip them onto wheel and put them in cold water.
A tiny bit of force?

I bought 2" ABS and sanded the inside of the ABS pipe just enough to get a smooth and snug fit. By doing so gluing it is not needed 
I wouldn't advise sanding to the wheel itself because you might want to re-use it again.

Nitro for Sliding??
Nah
Nitro For Speed !
These days the Electric are king of the slide and are slowly Catching the Nitro's in Speed..
Many people have actually Swapped from Nitro to Electric for Drift..
Nitro Still seems to be the King of Off road though..
I suppose it is Down to Driver skill and car ability

Yeah electric all the way! It's easier then manage, more cost effective, safer to drift with, and can go as fast as some nitros. BUT anyways drifting isn't about speed.. it's about more torque power [8D]
