Put a stack of washers over the stud as you pull it on using an impact
wrench. That way the lug nut will deform the washers instead of
damaging the chamfer of the nut. Another option is to not use a lug
nut. Just find another nut with the same thread.

Only problem with flipping the lug nut over is ours have a shoulder that
prevents you from using a socket on the lug if flipped over! Very hard
to pull the lug in tight enough with an open end wrench. I know I had
to do this a month ago.
other suggestions?

see more easily the progress of the seating of the stud. Hammer the old
one out from the front, and install the new one from the back. Use the
lug nut upside down so that the larger top side of the nut takes the
load, rather than the smaller tapered shoulder. Tighten until it seats.
Then install the wheel and tighten to specs as above. (Flip the nut
right side up...but you knew to do that, right?)
