The only way to get past this corrosion is by striking the rim from the rear at different points. Raise and support the vehicle in a secure manner, then as the wheel is slowly rotated strike the edge of the rim near the tire with a heavy hammer until the rim breaks free. Make sure you protect aluminum rims to prevent damage they break before they bend that is why the men who tried to help you used a board. If you can afford it I would suggest you call a tire shop to help you out they deal with such problems daily. Clean and lubricate surfaces with an anti-seize compound to prevent farther seizing.Does anyone know how to get a rusted tire off?I had this problem on my Mirage when I bought used steel wheels. There are TWO SIZES of the center hole that fits over the protruding hub. You can put a wheel with a bigger hole on a smaller hub, but really can't put a small hole wheel on a big hub without forcing it. I had to use a half-round file to get these wheels to fit. Probably not RUSTED on, but FORCED on. A small propane torch on the hub area might expand the wheel there enough to free it. Loosen but do not completely remove the lug nuts. Jack up the car and support it with stands, heat the hub area, protect the wheel with a 1x4 board at least a foot long so you can hold onto it, and strike the wheel from behind with a 10-lb hammer. The lug nuts will keep the wheel from flying when it pops free.Does anyone know how to get a rusted tire off?Does the tire have a big hole in it? Can you use a can of flat tire repair to get it inflated again.
The BEST way I know of to get the tire loose is this, if you can get it inflated. If you can't, it will probably damage the tire.
Put the lug nuts back on, but leave them two turns loose. Drive the car in a hard zig-zag fashion for a hundred feet of so. Get out and check the lug nuts. If any of them are tight, the wheel is coming loose. If they aren't loose, do it again. This method uses the whole weight of the car to help pop it loose.
Grease the area between the wheel and mounting area when you put the tire back on.
