Your Torque Wrench?
Based on many posts here, it seems that many of you travel with a torque wrench. I have never owned or even used one, and I have turned many a nut or bolt with torque specifications just by guessing....

is there an adapter to use my 150# wrench on my 450# lug nuts
Yes. It is a machine called a "Torque Multiplier". I have used them on aircraft propellor nuts, helicopter main rotor retaining nuts, and locomotive headbolts/cylinder crab nuts.
For the price of one, I think you could buy several 500 ft/lb torque wrenches. I haven't looked recently, not having a need for one, but IIRC they cost around $1000 or more many years ago.
Look for "torque multiplier" on eBay, you will find them from $55 (I would not buy one that cheap) on up to a Snap-On one for over $800.
