yes once, when i got my new rims i wanted to see if they would fit, but i knew i was taking the car in the next day to get fixed so i wasn't worried , but how do you know you tighten them enough, i don't want my wheels to fall off durring a hard turn or something.

Buy a torque wrence to tighten the lugs. If I remember correctly, Porsche recommends 96 foot pounds .
