A torque wrench stabilizer tool for supporting a torque wrench assembly is disclosed. The torque wrench assembly is used to engage lug nuts holding a wheel and tire onto a vehicle. The torque wrench stabilizer tool includes a tire clamp and a wrench support boom. The tire clamp is positionable on and temporarily connectable to the top of the tire. The tire clamp has a clamping flange, a boom support flange and a beam. The beam supports the clamping flange and the boom support flange a first distance apart in a tire clamping position. The beam has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The clamping flange and the boom support flange being positioned on and extending from the first side of the beam. The wrench support boom is configured to be supported by the tire clamp and is sized and dimensioned to extend from the tire clamp in front of the lug nuts. The boom has a first extension support finger positionable adjacent to a first lug nut of the lug nuts, and a second extension support finger positionable adjacent to a second lug nut of the lug nuts.
