Can’t remove wheels, what now

I was able to remove 2 of my 4 wheels for a tire rotation but 2 of them will not budge.

I have removed the lugs, dropped the jack in efforts to pop them, whaled on the tires with a sledgehammer on the inner and outer surface of the tire, sat on the ground and kicked at the tires left and right, even sprayed some pb blaster/kroil into the lug area days before this. The damn rims won’t budge.

I have the FN Five Star rims which at the time I thought were great but now FN has a whole new meaning. I noticed the two rims I could get off had some burrs around the lug holes and they fit tight on the bolt pattern.
Do I have to open up the lug holes a bit? But importantly how to get the other two off??

Has anyone struggled like I have or had a similar problem with these rims?

 

Maybe they weren't correct fit for a toyota. Maybe meant for another vehicle? Isn't Chevy hub pattern close but not the same?

 

Are the back ones the stuck ones?

 

FN wheels are hub centric to our trucks I believe. Did you clean the hubs before installing the wheels?

 

Do you have wheel spacers?

 

Might have to get in there with a torch somehow and heat them up

 

maybe some pieces of wood and bottle jacks. if you can get a brace between the inside of the wheels and jack them separate that might help

 

If you have a Hi Lift, you can probably push them apart using that and a 2 x 4.

 

If it is the rear tires just hit it with a sledge hammer from the back side of the side wall. Had this happen to me on the rears all the time.

 

use a screw jack like from a subaru with 2 2x4's screwed together and push on the wheels. PB blaster the snot out of them and then a dead blow hammer on the side of the wheel opposite the jack...

no shocking just hitting the tires, need to hit the wheel...

 

Put the lugs on just a few threads and take a drive around the block and they should pop loose.

 

To answer multiple posts, No wheel spacers, completely stock truck, these rims were made for the tacoma.. the site has nearly 2000 posts about FN wheels I believe.
I only have a floor jack. Left sides are frozen front and rear.
I didn’t want to damage the rim by smacking the rim with the sledge so I was hitting the side wall in multiple places

Maybe driving a bit with loose lugs but not confident about that option.

Wheels been on over 1 year and was taking in for service and shops never mentioned anything. Trust me once I get them off I will wire brush everything and hit the hub faces with antiseize

I do not have a torch to heat

 

I can’t picture what you are describing sorry. I do own a subaru btw

 

I may see what you are saying but just don’t have bottle jacks at the moment

 

I dealt with this last week. I tried prying, beating, etc. Then I got under the truck and gave it a few good kicks (of course with a jack stand and three wheels on the ground)

 

Usually it's because there is some galvanic corrosion from aluminum wheels on steel hubs.
I've had a few times in life where this has happened to me.
What I do is loosen the lugs and drive the car back and forth 10 feet or so until they free from the hubs.

 

if you kick, don't drop the truck on yourself.

Hammer is to be a deadblow. Whether it hits the tire, half tire half rim, or only rim. That is better than a sledge. HFT has them

 

If you don't have a dead-blow use the sledge and a block of wood against the rim. Hitting the rubber tire won't do shit

 

Another trick is to jack it up one side and apply the brakes both directions with loose lugs.
