I've found that a little lubrication on the lug threads of any of my cars over the past 40 years is a good thing. It can be a skim of anti-seize, some WD-40 or even just a couple drops of motor oil off the dipstick. The only time I can recall having a wheel blot come loose was when I had a brain cramp and it somehow didn't get tightened. JMO, of course.
On the present fleet, two 9Ks and a 9-5, I put a dab of anti-seize on the lug bolts and a very thin skim of the stuff on the wheel hub and flange, after cleaning off any dirt or accumulated crud. I used to use WD-40 for this, wiped on with a rag.
I recheck the wheels after a few days and they are always fine. I torque them to whatever the spec is, maybe a skotch tighter. They always come off okay
