Clean the wheel, hub faces and the center hole with a wire brush as well, then dry them. Apply a dab of anti-seize lubricant in the center hole if necessary, but do not apply to the wheel studs or lug nuts. Run the lug nuts in with your favorite tool until snug, but no more. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern twice, smoothly applying force.. While reviewing my owners manual today to check lug nut torque settings, I saw an ominous note–do NOT use oil or lubricant of any kind on the wheel lugs! I have always used anti-seize compound on all the lugs on all my cars, since the 1960’s, without problems. I know it’s not technically an oil, but it does have lubricating properties.

If you do apply lubricant, make sure to do so carefully and only to the threads. Never allow any lubricant on the mating surfaces of the nut or the lughole of the wheel. Much of the “stickiness” brought about by proper torque comes not from the threads but from the contact between mating surfaces. 2 Likes.. The surface between the lug nut seat and the contact spot of the rim is critical. The torque resistance here along with some stretching of the stud locks the parts together and keeps them from unwinding. Torque in stages (every other nut) to help seat the wheel evenly on the hub (hub-centric wheels).
