well im an idiot. i was putting on my new sand tires mounted on aluminium ITP wheels. i used the stock lug nuts and didnt tighten them that much. afterwords i realized i had put my rear tires on the wrong side. when i went to change them the wheels were stuck on there. the lugs had crushed the aluminium of the wheel around the 4 bolts that the wheels atach to. i was able to get the rear ones off with a crow bar but cant get the front ones off because the brakes are in the way. i went out and bought a ballencer puller for a car which look very promising untill the wheels started to bend:(. i am all out of ideas please help this idiot. thanks a lot

if you are using tapered lug nuts you have to turn them around so the flat side is against the wheel.....
