Here in the East it really helps to use antiseize if you run the van in the winter months.
I use it sparingly on the lugs and use a drop of BLUE loctite on the threads after wiping excess antiseize off.
Properly torque all the nuts.
I have not had any issue doing this and I check the torques often.
Napa sell a Permatex spray anti seize that is good to hi temps.
This is what I use now, way easier, just a spritz and go.
