I do not have a fancy torque wrench with precise load-cell either but assuming some gage error is in the factory equation of the spec.
I do not have factory service manual but the owners manual and Bentley I have handy do not indicate to lube....
And just for reference... 718 manual says NOT to grease (lube) those bolts... I know, different car/ design but.

I would agree against using grease on the lug bolts for multiple reasons, but we would still use anti seize, which also functions as a lubricant during assembly.
