FSM torque values for wheel bolts are dry values for clean, rust-free threads. If you lubricate the bolt and use the same torque value, you will be applying more clamping force. That risks damage to rims, bolts and threads. The bolts are probably 25% below their load limit at specified torque, so you may have enough reserve strength to get away with it. But it's a still a risk you need to think about. If you know the thread size, you may be able to find a table of appropriate wet torque values by internet search.
