Im pretty sure lubing a lug and or thread will lead to overtightening!

Nope. The porshe manual has specific instructions for lubricating the lug bolts. Id especially do it if you are driving in the winter with salted roads. Much easier to get the lugs off later.

I had no idea Porsche recommended this! Once the snow stops falling ive got to resume my fall/winter maintenance.
