You always need to use anti seize on stainless even if both are stainless. I use that stuff on steal as well. It helps get a better torque on the nut. No it's not like oil and allow the nut to back off. I wouldn't risk using stainless on wheels no matter what. Stainless looks good on some stuff but use caution as to how you use them. Stainless doesn't like to get hot ether. Heat makes the metal harder and more brittle. Ever try to drill out a stainless steal bolt. The trick is to turn the bit slow. If you go to fast the metal will turn blue and you are done drilling.

My recommendation is not to use stainless nuts.
