Jack it up, put on one of the lug nuts very loose and kick the rim from the back side.

No need for the lug part,

just kick it (not to hard) all around and it'll break loose...

if none of the above solutions work then again with the single lug nut tighten it with a ratchet while its up in the air (not as tight as torqueing it) then lower the car and carefully and slowly drive back and forth a few feet and then jack it up remove the lug nut and the wheel will be loose.

I suggest putting a lug on loosely, just do that you wont damage your wheel or injure yourself.
