Default Difficulty reaching torque on axle nut

I have a 2007 Ford Edge that I'm replacing the CV axle on. The axle nut torque spec is 258 ft lbs, but the only torque wrench I can find goes up to 250 ft lbs. Do you think it's acceptable to torque to 250 and then do another 45 degrees to approximate 258 ft lbs?
