Can't believe wheel nut torque is 140 psi. My current wrench only goes up to 100. 
Need a new torque wrench!

Just be glad you don't have something with centrelocks. On a 992-gen 911 the required torque is 600Nm (442lb ft).

You can use a breaker bar and a set of scales using the formula:
Torque = Force x Distance as a work around if needed.
Torque = Force x Distance as a work around if needed.

Do these look OK for the job?

So you are confident/have the equipment for jacking up the car properly without causing damage, if you are doing it yourself? As Ade from Nottingham was saying in another post:
"Looking forward to the next batch of (C8) cars coming into Ian Allans, as there should be 3 more C8s coming to Nottingham. All good friends & will be coming here to get checked over & treated to a full wax everywhere. I've got the Quickjack set up to be able to jack the cars up correctly in the new jacking positions. It pretty much mirrors the Camaros we do position wise, but with pucks rather than the pinchweld ZL1 ADDONS that they all have fitted."

I personally wouldn't buy a Amazon basic one, as if it's not accurate you might as well just a metal bar.
Stick to a named brand, Halfords are good, Sealey or Clarke are also good value.
