I use a crapload of copper anti-sieze, i put them on dry first, until one of the lugs had the coating chip off and seized the lug on halfway, it broke off when taking it off

I prefer Astroglide to KY, but thats a personal preference.... [sm=yikesomg.gif]

Also, the only time I have hear of lugs siezing is when they are zipped on and off with an impact gun.

Permatex brand anti-sieze, FTW.
Don't need much so don't buy a quart of it.
You can get it in little envelopes in some places.......

u dont need any. unless your parking the car in 12" of water, the lugs & studs are barely going to rust.

only times i've ever snapped a customers studs are when the previous mechanic cross threaded the nut, and just slammed it on with a gun & said **** it
