Jez - this is gonna sound crude. But I've been prying wheels of with tweezers, and putting them on with a tack hammer. Flip chassis over side to side and use nail set to get things even. Started doing this more than fourty years ago. Keep meaning to get press but always have something else I'd rather spend money on. Maybe one of these days.
Ron made good point about wheels being trued. Always mean to do this but somehow never gets done.
Couple of things on which wheels fit. T-jet hot rod (or dune buggy) wheels with the backside trimmed like Sam posted pics of wizzard wheel will work. I forget the brand tires that work on them but I'm sure someone knows. "Tjetsgrig" makes a sillyfoam thats .520 something and only like 5/32's wide (lots of pressure on tire footprint). But there only good for classes that allow sillyfoam.
Another thing is body selection, some bodies are just wider than others and easier to work with than others. Had the same problem with cars at Lions mfrs. race that TGM mentioned. the only way I found to correct it was to hack out body and move wheels apart. Think body was just to narrow. Sgrig's tires would have worked, but there not legal for that class.
As far as clas.....ses..... ...oh yea this should be another thread.
