Using an impact wrench to tighten lug nuts is generally not recommended because it can easily lead to over-torquing, which may damage the nuts or the wheel hub. Impact wrenches deliver high torque quickly, making it difficult to achieve the precise torque specifications required for safe wheel installation. Instead, it's best to use a torque wrench to tighten lug nuts to the manufacturer's recommended specifications for optimal safety and performance.
