Why would you want to use wire nuts on 8awg?

For any circuit with that much current going through it, please, do yourself a favor and use a proper connector with good mechanical strength.

I got some, if you are only using 2 8 gauge wires they should fit in the wire nut.

Wire nuts are excellent for connecting solid wires in things that don't move much, like houses. The are not such a good idea for stranded wires in moving vehicles. If you don't feel like soldering, use a butt connector.

If you need to connect multiple wires like that in a vehicle, please...use a terminal strip with jumpers to connect the screws. You can find something like that at PE or Radioshack...would be the much safer way to do it.
