I snug the lugs up pretty tight before I even rest the vehicle on the tire. Pretty easy to do with a 1/2" torque wrench or breaker bar. The mass of the wheel/tire does not rotate quickly when you really "snap" the breaker bar or torque wrench. If needed, you can even get the wheel/tire moving and the then use the rotating mass of the wheel to tighten the lugs up, braking the moving wheel with the breaker bar/torque wrench. I am guessing I can easily get 50+ ft/lbs of torque on the lugs with the wheel free from the ground.

Kind of hard to explain, but I have been doing this for years.
