Torque for aluminum wheels if using anti-sieze.

My Volvos have the Corona 25-spoke alloy wheels. For years I have torqued to 82 lb-ft, and yelled at Discount Tire folks about it, too.

But, is the torque value to be reduced by 40% if using anti-sieze on the wheel studs? Getting to 82 lb-ft is not terribly easy, but I do wonder if I am over-torqueing and thus risking a warped wheel and/or rotor.

What say You?

Thanks in Advance,

Bob
