I would avoid using WD-40 (torque issues). Instead keep a long breaker bar on hand. It would be a good idea to re-torque after 50 miles as well.
How many here would replace the "good" tire that's adjacent to the flat as well?
You should expound on what the torque issue might be. Takes less torque to loosen a rusted lug nut if it's WD40'd?
If you mean torque when re installing, there is absolutely no issue. In fact proper bolt tension is more accurate with lubricated threads. It's a requirement in other applications where bolt tension is critical.
Or don't ever have to worry about frozen lugs and anti seize your wheel lugs pre-emptively.
