I got all of the lugs off but the rim doesn't budge. Any suggestions? The tires have been rotated once by the dealer and the lugs where not overly tight to get off so it doesn't seem like they used a impact gun to get them on just torque down to spec thank god.

Put one lug on loose and kick the shit out of the tire!

Sounds as if the rim is stuck on.

To fix this, you need to move the rim is pretty much any direction. Once the wheel breaks loose, then you will have to keep from losing control of it.

Put any lug nut BACK ON - not tight but well threaded on. That will hold the wheel.

Use any handy heavy blunt object to try to move the rim. Tapping it from the back sometimes works.

Be careful of making permanent marks.

put your lug nuts on finger tight then go do donuts... will definitely work them loose.
