Get a hammer and smack the back side of the tire & rim.. sometimes condensation between the rotor & rim will cause it to stick together.

:confused: LMAO. It's just stuck. Use a block of wood against the rim,and pound the shit out of it with a sledge hammer.

hey thanks i thought there may be something else that needed to come off , but its just the lugs huh. noticed the rotors are in very very bad shape maybe has something to do with it. fronts have been done but not the rear. Thanks

Just give it a nice little kick, it should pop right off!

I've had to pund the sh*t out of wheel one time because it wouldn't come off. You shouldn't harm anything - unless you can't swing!

putting 16s on instead of 15s will be of no issue.... you must remove the lugnuts before you try to get the wheel off..... also, using words with all their letters in them helps out a lot, so do punctuation marks

If you don't have a hammer, take off the lugs and drive it. They will come off. :rolleyes:
