Impact wrenches are ok as long as you use the proper torque stick. I torque my 1970 c10 to 80 lbs which is 5 over specs but that is what I was using before I knew the correct torque specs so I kept using it.
If you over tighten lugs it will cause problems later on with stripped lug nuts and studs.
Don't use grease or anti-seize on your studs. It will give you a false reading on the torque and it just isn't needed. I have worked at 2 different dealerships for around 10 years and we never put anything on lug nut or studs. Wal-Mart is the only place I know of that uses anti-seize on lug nuts.
