An impact wrench is fine for taking the lugnuts off.
To put them on use a lugwrench and then a torque wrench.
Tighten lugs in opposite pairs.

Using an impact wrench to put lugnuts on is characteristic of
mechanics in a hurry at tire shops and brake&muffler joints who really
don't give a damn. If you care enough to check lugnuts, use a torque
wrench.

Whether you should put grease or anti-sieze on the lugs is a subject
of vociferous controversy in automotive mewsgroups. I always do.
