What are the size of the nuts?
Also, I found the lug nut size is actually stamped on the side of the nut. 9/16-18 in my case:
I'm planning to go with these as McGard was recommended in another discussion (unless someone advises otherwise):

Any good mechanic will tell you to NEVER use anti seize on the threads of a lug nut or studs. If you are worried about corrosion between the steel nut and the aluminum rim then apply a light coat of anti corrosive paste on the mating surfaces and then wipe it off... But never apply it to the stud or lug nut threads.Last edited by IBEW Sparky; 11-13-2021 at 08:07 AM.

Hmm, your idea of a good mechanic and mine are way different. Nothing wrong with using anti-sieze on lug nuts. A good mechanic will tell you that, as long as you compensate by adjusting the tightening torque. Decades ago I got tired of lug nuts seizing to the studs, and started using anti-seize. Granted, with modern nuts and studs it's not the problem it used to be, but won't hurt anything.

Published torque specs are given based on clean, dry threads. You gave no way to guesstimate how much to compensate for lubed threads. You can always wing it you are smarter than the engineers, otherwise stick with the book and stay out of trouble.
