Help Quick - Rim stuck

Ok i'm having a bit of trouble here. My bro got some new rims for his 99 z28. So he let me have the stock chrome 5 spoke rims. Well i put them on and everything was good until i started driving and my car was shakin like crazy. My friend noticed the back rear wheel was wobbling badly. I take it home and me and my dad take all the lugs of and the right rim will not come off. We decide to try the left rear it will not come off either. So now both my rear tires are stuck on the car and i don't know what to do. Are these rims supposed to be in certain spots. In ex there's 2 front rims and 2 back rims, and i have them mixed up?

Re: Help Quick - Rim stuck

You didn't grind the wheel hub opening to allow for the bigger hubs on the rear did you?

98-02 F-bodies have a smaller rear hub than 93-97.

You need to get a rubber mallet jack the car up and just beat the tire part until the wheel is off, then get a grinder/dremel/whatever and grind the hub opening on the wheels until it fits without having to force the wheels on, like you probably had to do the first time.

remember when you go to rotate later to do the same for the fronts before you switch them.
