Is the tire stuck on the rim, or is the rim stuck to the wheel/brake rotor? FriPilot Let's assume that on a dark rainy night you notice a thumping and you pull over and have a flat tire. You pull out your spare tire, lug wrench, and jack, set the emergency brake, loosen the lugnuts, jack up the vehicle, and the wheel refuses to budge from the car after you remove the lugnuts. No matter how hard you kick, pull, or pry on the wheel it is not coming off. You are out in the boondocks with no cellphone or help nearby. Put the lugnuts back on the wheel but leave about 1/4 inch space on each nut before the nut would contact the wheel. Jack the vehicle back down and remove the jack and anything else out away from the car. Get back in the car and drive it back and forth while turning the steering wheel sharply in one direction and then the other (watching out for traffic of course). The wheel will pop away from the rotor and you can then change the tire normally.

You should try giving the bottom of the tire a good hit. Then hit it all around the wheel well. This should loosen it enough for it to be pulled off.
