be prepared to get a torque wrench the size of your car.
true single lug require about 350ft/lbs of torque to tighten them.
ever seen a gt or f1 pre-grid? the mechanics have this HUGH torque wrench which they literally hang on to, to torque the nuts down.

can't speak for GT but F1 certianly does NOT use torque wrenches for bolting on wheels.

size of your car? not quite.
figure (conservatively) the person can apply 100lbs of force.. the bar would only have to be 3.5 feet long to put 350ft/lbs of torque on the single nut. measure 3.5ft, it really isn't THAT long, and then also consider the average adult male can put more than 100lbs in to it... the bar would be less than 3.5ft.
