Properly torqued they will be as they should, staying in place keeping
your  wheels on the your van.

Good morning, Frank.

Dennis's point was that with anti seize the nuts require less torque.
If you use anti seize and torque the nuts to the specs for "dry" then
you could risk disaster from stretching the studs or bolts beyond their
limits.

Your statement (shown above) seems to agree with him ... though you
didn't identify what "proper" is when using a lubricant.
