One thing on antiseize, DO NOT get any on the lug nut/wheel taper seating surfaces. The nuts will not want to stay tight if this is done. Not to mention over stressing the stud.

The reason my lugs seize on is that they are open ended. So the plan is thread them on until snug, smush the anti-seize into the open end, back them off a few turns so the threads at the end get 'wet' then tighten and torque. Then smush more into the open end. I figure that should both properly torque and stave off the rust.
I've been known to take new cars and pull the rotors/drums and anti-seize the crap out of them the first week I own them. The Forte has been the first car I haven't done this and I am sure I will regret it this coming spring when I change them all.
