I started using anti-sieze some years back - but only on the bolt head where it liked to cold-weld to the aluminum wheel. The threads are steel on steel - they don't bind. One time on my '82, the nut was siezed so tight that the air-hammer wrench wouldn't budge it. It took one guy lifting up as hard as he could on one arm of a cross-bar lug wrench while the other guy slammed down on the other arm with a 5 lb. sledge. These days, I find that the coating Saab puts on the lug bolts seem to prevent that. And the 9-3 wheel bolts (are they using them on the 9-5 too?) with their separate conical washer absolutely prevent it.
