Many of the racers in POC and NASA use anti-seize on their wheel studs. We change tires a number of times during an event and the lubricant makes for more consistent torque readings.
As it was explained to me by a professional Porsche team crew chief, torque is created by the stretching of the stud. If the stud is rusty or dry, the friction will cause a torque reading that is not as accurate as a stud that has lubricant on it.
Most all the 944s I race with torque their wheels between 95 and 100 ft/lbs.
