Ah, sounds like you don't support the head of the ratchet or torque wrench at the head. I use a 10-inch extension, for the most part, so that I can easily support the other end, and it clears even deep dish wheels.Its not needed but on my other cars I can get by with a deep socket without an extension so more of a habit I guess.
On the TRX a standard socket seats all the way but w/ deep socket & 3“ extension its the perfect length just outside the tire. With a 6” extension, it gets a little long for that kinda torque, makes tweaking the lug nuts more likely. But dunno, I’m not a mechanic, do they make 5” extensions for 1/2” drives, I mostly see 3”, 6”?
