That's a good point. To set the torque on a series of bolts, it's best to go around in a pattern and tighten the bolts evenly. This usually means in steps. To tighten wheel lugs to 80 lbft, pretend each bolt is numbered from 1 to 5 in a circle. Tighten each bolt to 50 lbft, then 65 lbft then 80 lbft in a sequence like 1-3-5-2-4.
