Can i replace the 19mm nuts on my ebike's rear axle with 18mm nuts? (slrpnk.net)

Context: my ebike has 19mm nuts on the rear axle (and 15mm on the front). I have an old Proto wrench that's a 15mm/18mm, so i'm wondering if i could replace the rear nuts with 18mm nuts instead, so i can carry around one less wrench.

The bike is an Eahora Cupid with a 1000w motor if that makes any difference.

Not unless you replace your axle.
