hit the tire with a hammer on opposite sides. If not try to spray some wd-40, pb blaster, or liquid wrench in the middle where the wheel meets the hub. I had this happen to me before. Just that the wheel seizes onto the hub. to prevent for next time put some anti-seize or light grease where the hub meets the wheel.

just make sure to use brake cleaner before you put everything back.

If it's really stuck, put a couple of lugs back in LOOSELY (so the wheel won't fly across the garage) and hit the tire (not the wheel) from the back side. Feel free to use a sledge hammer, just don't hit the rim itself.
