Stainless doesn't like to get hot ether. Heat makes the metal harder and more brittle. Ever try to drill out a stainless steal bolt. The trick is to turn the bit slow. If you go to fast the metal will turn blue and you are done drilling.
My recommendation is not to use stainless nuts.

I know most won't agree with this, I use anti seize on my lug nuts always.
Leaned that 40 yrs. ago when driving semi.
I just adjust my toque a bit when using it.
