You can overtighten them if you're re-tightening them. If you're fitting them fresh (if necessary, pull them off and start over), and you're using a normal long-ish wrench (like the length in the photo), then you're unlikely to over-tighten them if you stop when it gets a bit too hard to turn. If you start using longer stuff or using your whole body weight you might.
