Removed and reinstalled wheels 20+ times on dry studs, torqued to 90. (AutoX) Lugs removed with impact or ratchet, installed with tq wrench. You goofs posting about lubricating threads may be "experts", but situations where you're working with 2000ft/lbs is entirely different than small fastener physics. Lubed torque would be lower than dry torque, and even as specifically whether you're lubing the threads, the seat, or both.
I'm surprised I didn't see someone mention to MAKE SURE you tighten them in the star pattern. The first one should only be snugged up the first time. If this isn't done the lugs tighten down on one side of the stud hole, making it possibly seize, gall, or break the stud upon removal because it isn't supported by one side of the lug.
