Unusual Problem Inside..
So I traded my TTIIs with a buddy that had SS ZR1, both 17s, the ZR1s 17x9...but I'm sure most of you know that. I have 275 drag radials and I went to put them on the car. He had an LS1 and I have an LT1 so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. One wheel went on fine, but the other didn't mount flush for some reason. So I tightend the lugs, but couldn't get one lug on..on the wheel that wasn't flush, so I left it off. I just lowered the car so I need an alignment anyways, but it was way off. I was going to pull the wheels off and swap sides to see if that might be a problem. I take off all the lugs, but the wheels won't come off! I check to see if something was holding them on, but nothing. They won't budge. And yes, all the lugs are off with the rear end in the air. I'm not a small guy, and I was yanking on these things. Ever heard of this before??

use a 4x4 or large pry bar or sledge to inside of tire. That should get it off. But put one lug back on first so it doesnt eat the pavement when it flies off. I work for a tire shop and i use the sledge almost everyday. Some wheels are very corroded and there really is no other way.
