I never had this happen before or seen anything like it. I went to rotate my tires and I take the lugs off the back wheel and the wheel would not come off. It was stuck on the hub. I kicked and hit the tire with sledgehammer. Still did not come off. I soaked it in wd40 and tapped on the rim with a hammer yet still nothing. My brother had to lay under the car and kick outward to remove the wheel. This was only on one side. It was very odd.

Anyone else ever have this happen? I hope I do not get this every time I try and remove a wheel. I can't wait to run down the rubber on these tires so I can put on my altima wheels. I just hope they fit .

Did you see any debris on the hub when you removed it? Clean the hub and the inside of the wheel that touches the hub. Spray some brake cleaner and use a scouring pad or brush, so it don't stick on when you have to remove them again.

Nope I didn't notice anything on there. This was the first time the wheel was ever removed from the factory. Too late to do anything to the hub as it's back on . Thanks for the advice though.

This is the joy of living in new England with excess amount of sand and salt on the roads.

The wheel I had stuck on was the original wheel that came from the factory. It was the first time removed.
