in my auto shop class, we use antiseize on all wheel studs
There are different schools of thought here. Some wheel manufactureres say never to use anti-seize on lug nuts. Centerline is one of them.
There is some engineering behind this. Moly greeze (never seize) tends to be thick but still viscous. After torqued over time it is possible for it to migrate effectively relaxing stud preload. Without preload and the friction so low from the moly you could lose your nuts (a bad thing in any context). I do not use it on wheel lug nuts personally. But I stop short of saying it is wrong. If I did use it on wheel studs I would check the nut torque more than once after application.
But I would forget and I know my wheels would fall off
