How to lock X5 front wheels
I'm trying to switch my winter tires on.

When I jack up the front, I realized the front wheels are not locked. So the break bar can't really work as wheels make turn. I know I could put car and wheels on the ground, and then turn the lug nuts off, but then when I tight up the lug nuts, I have to let it on the ground before I tighten up, would that be a bad idea?

Is it the only option left is to use impact gun to tight them up?

Thanks
