I jacked up the car, removed the lugs and tried to remove the tire/rim and the ***** wont come off, i even hit it with a hammer. Wtf can it be?

 

If the lugs are all off then the wheel should come off. Just give the tire a good kick. Unless of course you have some sort of spacer or hub ring that's stuck.

 

^+1 -- if you have aftermarket rims with hubcentric rings you may need to wiggle them back and forth to get them out...

 

I've had that happen to my old car before, lower the jack slowly and the wheel should pop off under the pressure. Alternatively, a swift kick would also do it but that might damage something.

 

take a hard corner, that should do it .

 

i tried everything, could it be that one of the studs are bent?

 

LOL, no, you're just not hitting it hard enough. Quit being a ***** and take that wheel off!!

 

Patience---Spray Liquid Wrench in the center hub area and let it set for awhile, then using a block of wood on the inner rim edge turn the tire and rap it with a good size hammer alternatlly. If it is real stubborn, you may have to take a butane torch and GENTLY heat the rim area around the center and try it again. (expansion and helping the penitrant penitrate ) After it is off, clean hell out of it and use a little anti-sieze compound in the lockup area so no probs in the future

"sumwhere" doesnt tell me where you live, so that dont tell me a fukcin thing, but rust and oxidation is the culprit

 

Im in nj.....btw- anyone know a good place in nj that fixes bent rims and curb rashes?

 

is the wheel off? is it bent bad?

 

Liquid Wrench is a winner!

 

Bent wheel? How do you bend a wheel? Photos please.

 

Cool stuff, been around for a 100 years and cheap. I remember when WD came out, I was a kid, Big AD campaign.

The best stuff is never advertised, Doesnt need it

 

the 2 front rims are bent from pot holes, i want to remove the rear rims are replace them with the stocks until the others are fixed. i dont wanna be driving around with diffrent rims

 

The wheels may be able to be fixed. Expensive. After repairing, there is no assurance that they can ever be properly balanced.

 

think he got them off the car yet? or did he fall asleep with a prybar in his hands

 

+1.

My rims are the same way. They are custom made to fit the Z only, with no hub adapters. What happens is the mating part of the wheel forms a thin layer of oxidation that bonds to the rotor's hub. Sit on the floor next to the wheel, use a heavy rubber mallet to beat the back of the rim. Keep turning the wheel so you beat it equally all around. You can put an old rag where you hit it, incase your self conscience about scuff marks on the back side of the rim. BTW, don't bang on the tire. Hit the lip of the rim. It takes a little while, but some old fashion elbow grease and cojones will get it off.

 

Personally, I thought the "take a hard corner" idea would have worked...

 

Well if you still have not taken the rims off you might wanna try lowering the car with the lugs off then rasing it and hitting it again with the hammer to see if it mad it a little easier. The same thing happend with my friends S4.

 

I have seen incorrect wheels installed on a vehicle where the hub was literally pressed into the center of the wheel. We took all the lug nuts off and did donutes in the parking lot. It was a brand-new Lincoln.

Ended up using a wheel puller.
