I am normally religiously against red or high temp variants of lock tight but I would use it for the studs here.

The loctite isnt to keep the the studs secure in normal operation. The bolt stretch/clamp load does that. It is to make sure they dont disengage any threads when loosening the lug nuts


You can use no locktite if you want as long as you make sure the studs are full engaged in the hub everytime you loosen a lugnut.

The danger of course is if you un torque a lug net and the stud comes out a couple threads unnoticed
