Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Oh right, not so easy, since the wheel isn't designed for nuts. You could cut down the lever and use a plain nut on the other side of the shaft, but tightening to a proper tension without risk of breakage is tricky.
Some riders place a tiewrap around the lever and fork leg on the basis that thieves don't carry scissors or thin enough wire cutters. With levers that aren't suitable for that, the thumbpad part of the lever can be drilled and a security tiewrap or wire threaded through that and around the fork leg. Both are delaying tactics preventing the lightning theft that's usually possible.
To do these things the tightening of the nut side must be such as to allow the lever to end up alongside the fork leg of course.
