If you've gotten all the lug nuts or lug bolts out of the wheel and it won't come off, what you want to do is just thread one of the lugs back in a few turns so it will hold the wheel when it comes free. You can either use a large crowbar and pry or you can use a hammer and hit the tire. If you use a hammer, be careful not to hit the wheel. You just want to hit the tire then remove your lug and remove your wheel and tire.

Ticking Clicking Noise Coming From Your Engine Diagnosing Collapsed Lifters
Andy diagnoses a top end clicking ticking noise in our Chevy Avalanche! Andy locates the clicking noise to the top driver side of the 5.3L V8 engine, and discovers an intermittent misfire in cylinder 1. After removing the valve cover, he finds a very loose rocker, the source of our noise. He determines the rocker is loose because its lifter has collapsed, meaning it's not pushing up on the rocker when activated by the camshaft. The fault is in the AFM (active fuel management) lifter.
