And this appears to be one of those things where there's not a definitive opinion. I googled "antiseize on wheel hub" and there are arguments in both directions. In general:
* if you DO use antiseize, just a tiny amount around the center hub is all you need to stop the wheel from seizing to the hub.
* if you use antiseize on wheel bolts, then you need to modify your torque spec to account for the lower friction while torquing.
Didn't realize this was such a controversial subject until I did some searching. I started doing it because I learned from my dad (diesel mechanic and truck tire shop manager for many years) but perhaps this is one of those olt-tyme mechanics' practices that has now been discredited.
