Car wheel nuts - grease or not?
I have a car with alloy wheels which should be torqued to 103.
Should I use grease/copaslip on the wheel nut threads? Seems to be differing opinions. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

yes on the rear of the wheel (hub) if you have alloys and threads. use copperslip not grease!!! and use sparingly.

My nuts are always greased. Had one to may issues with stiff nuts, and even snapping one off once! I also grease the hubs. Never done any harm. As said, use sparingly
