Stud pilot wheel advice

Do you put anti sieze on the ball seat areas of wheel/lug seat contact area?  Or will this really throw off the torque values?

The torque values don't work if you lube the ball, there would be less friction and more pressure would be on the threads

So is anti sieze consider a lubricant in this case?

Definitely, basically graphite and oil.

Welllllll . . .

The inexpensive Permatex stuff is graphite based.  The good Permatex stuff is 10X the price and is molybdenum based.  I've used both and if I'm short on cash I'll buy the small tube from the Honda motorcycle dealer.  Then again life time supply doesn't mean what it used to mean and a little moly goes a long way.

I have been using Molykote for years as an anti seize, but it will mess with torque values big time.

Update got them all mounted and torqued, in about 4 hrs with rest breaks, rears are a pita, especially the inners even with a helper. Used masking tape to mark the inners as I torqued them. $10 or less 4:1 torque multipleir pictured
