Wheel is stuck
Hey guys, ok I was getting ready to take the ZR1's off for winter and put on my snow tires, but one of my rims won't come off. I took all the lug nuts off and got ready to pull the wheel off, but it won't budge. When I put the rim on it was a pretty snug fit on that particular wheel, but I never thought it would get stuck. I pulled as hard as I could and it wont come off. I also didnt see anything that I could maybe use to kinda pry the wheel off. Do any of you have any suggestions?

that really sux, maybe you could use a steering wheel puller. Just something that attaches to a couple of the threads and pulls it off. If you have ever seen one you will know what I mean, it might be worth a try,

It seems that 1 of 2 things has happened.
1. The wheel holes were cut improperly. or
2. You have a bent stud.
I would first try taking a rubber mallet as suggested above and tap all the studs and see if that doesn't free the wheel up. Other than that, beat the s*** out of it from the backside until it lets go.
