Is this a truck? 380 is not a car wheel by any means. If it is a truck you will need the 1 inch impact and lots of air. Be sure to use the anti-seize (thread dope).

The torque spec on the lug nuts is around 380 lbs. I'm hoping that once I get them loosened, I can retorque them and they will be capable of being loosened with a 40" breaker bar since I don't want to haul around a compressor and 40 lbs of impact wrench just to change a tire and wheel.
