Most above average to very heavy pass sedans take 5 lugnuts very light to below average usually take 4, but 5 in some cases.

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.

When I replace a tire, the first thing I do is make sure the car is in park, (sounds obvious, but do it), and that the emergency brake is on. Before you lift the car, loosen the lugnuts, (in a star pattern), slightly. Then, use your jack to lift the car, and finish removing the lugs. Then, replace the tire and finger tighten the lugnuts. Lower the vehicle. In a star pattern, tighten the lugnuts completely.

All standard Astra's are front wheel drive.
Looking at your question im assuming that you have ALL the lugnuts off if you do i would say you wheel is rusted and stuck to your hub Jack the car up and remove the lugnuts and turn with your back to the wheel and kick the bottom of the tier this should bust the rust loose and tier should come off IF the lugnut are not off and you have lock nuts with no tool to remove you may need to have a regular lugnut welded to the end of the locknut so you can remove it with a impact then replace it with a normal one.
