Also if you have a stubborn or siezed lug nut you are far better to remove it with an impact wrench than a long bar. An impact wrench will rattle it free with less chance of breaking the stud. If you break a stud while removing lug nuts with an impact then it was compromised and needed to be replaced anyway. If you break a stud with a long bar the Stud could have been fine but you may have imparted a sideways force on the stud and broken it.
Ideal setup is an impact to remove nuts. Only light torque with impact on installation and then finish the torque with a torque wrench.

Are you talking about loosening the lug nuts before lifting the car?
