Use 271 to apply.
Don't worry, you can undo them with a double nut technique

So Loctite Red 271 seems to be ok to use. What do folks use to keep the spacers or wheels from binding to the hub?

Ray texted me this and I thought I'd share:
This is what's recommended "Parts needed:
-5 or 5.5mm Allen (Depending on the stud) key/wrench
-Medium strength thread locker
-Socket set and Torque Wrench
1. Properly jack up the car and secure jack stand
2. Remove lug bolts and wheels
3. Clean wheel hub and lug holes of any debris
4. Apply 1 drop of thread locker on the short threaded side of the stud
5. Insert allen key all the way into the stud and install the stud
6. Torque the stud to 25ft/lbs
7. Repeat steps 4-6 on the remaining studs on wheel hub
8. Install wheel
9. Torque nut to factory specs or 85-88ft/lbs.

Yep. 25 ft-lbs is right.
Typically when you meet resistance on threading the stud, go 1/4 turn and you're good.
