these things are built with plenty of factor of safety this aint rocket surgery

Anti seize on the threads is fine, not ideal from an engineering intent perspective but neither is plastically deformed or pitted studs. Agreed to not get it on the seat of the nut. Back off the torque spec by about 10% and you will be fine. They wont go anywhere, doesnt hurt to check though.


If you do this with care you will be much better off than 99% of the cars on the road with randomly torqued lugs probably stretched by discount tire at some point in their life and potentially substantially weakended by corrosion

If you arnt in a corrosion prone area or this isnt a problem for you I wouldn't bother though.


If you need to sleep better you can remember that most older Porsche wheels are held on by aluminum lug nuts.
