HELP!!!! Wheel Removal

Today I am trying to put on my summer tires. I have the first front wheel lugs off and this wheel WILL NOT come off the studs easily. Am I missing something???

Please advise

Have you kicked the tire or used a rubber mallet to pound on the tire? I'm sure you have but doesn't hurt to ask.

Sounds like you have some rust build up on the hub. Be sure to clean it off with a wire brush before reinstalling the wheels.

I actually had not. Easy kick on the sidewall and the wheel came loose easily.

Thanks!!!

This is why C5 rules, quick help when you need it. Thanks all.

Boy the car feels different now with the Blizzaks changed to the P Zeros. Will have to get used to it, way more road input. I know it was like that before but I was used to it then.
