Sorry I got it backwards; you're correct. I would still be afraid of lug nuts coming lose over time from vibrations though if using anti-seize. Tire rack and permatex recommend no anti-sieze.

Step 7: "Do not apply anti-seize compound to the lug hardware or studs."

https://m.tirerack.com/tires/tiretec....jsp?techid=39

"Permatex® does not recommend the use of any anti-seize product on wheel studs. Many people have used anti-seize for this applications, however, there is the potential for over-torqueing and therefore, higher clamp loads and potentially dangerous bolt stretch."

"The tech folks at Tire Rack state: "Torque specifications are for dry threads only. The fastener threads should be free of oil, dirt, grit, corrosion, etc. It is important NOT to lubricate hardware threads or seats. The friction at which torque is measured against should come from the hardware seats. Lubricating hardware threads and seats alters the friction generated which will result in inaccurate torque readings and/or over-torqueing of the hardware.""
