I know this is an old thread; but i've been using antiseize for over 25 years,,,originally started on heavy trucks (with Budd wheels) and carried on from there.
never had an issue with stripped or broken studs-i even use on my ~Z~
I was looking up to see what people were torquing their wheels too & 80ft.lbs. seems a bit weak.....i've been evenly torquing mine to 100ft.lbs. without any issues.
