I tried all the suggestions with no luck. I ended up loosening the lugs a bit on the wheel in question and drove it around the block. Twice. I finally loosed up on the third turn. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

I have had to lie down on the ground, car jacked up and securely on jack stands, and kick the tire with both feet away from the car from under it.

Wild how stuck yours was. I ended up putting anti-seize on the surfaces where the wheel contacts the hub as well as on the lug bolts, that helps a ton. Glad to hear you got it taken care of

I really don't mean to be rude....but i have a really hard time believing that this is actually a topic that you would post. But either way i hope all is well with your wheel, good luck.

Wail on it with a mallet or hammer and wood block. Blast it with PB blaster until it drips all over everything including your disc. Swear at it. Smash it with a baseball bat if you can get at it.
