The impact wrench seems like a good idea, I think that the vibrations just might loosen the nut.. I´ve got access to one @ work.
If you by lefthand thread mean counterclockwise unscrewing, then yes it is a.f.a.i.k.!

The most common left hand thread to encounter is the fan clutch.
The wheel nut is right hand thread and the impact wrench is a good idea, should do the trick.

weird honestly. i never had trouble taking off my wheel. sometimes it did seem stuck, but with a long lever it was always easy to pop it out without doing and damage....
next time don't overtighten it...

I also had little bit of trouble trying to get the nut off. Lucky I saw this post. I just changed my steering wheel and the impact wrench worked like a charm!
