So I picked up some 8x16 Disco rims for my Rangerover, i really wanted the 7x16 but can't find any. Tried to remove my old 18" wheels, none of them will come off! (yes I did remove the nuts) I tried 2 days of WD-40 and whacking the rubber with a sledge hammer. I have now placed a piece wood between the 2 front wheels and a jack, which I have been slowly cranking in the hopes it will pop one of the tires off the hub.
Any other ideas?
Wheel rims seized on my 2000 Range Rover

This was a problem even on new trucks. Landrover added lubricating the wheel centers to the procedure at pre-delivery inspection and major service a few years ago.
I have struggled with a few sets of those wheels which were seized on and I always apply antiseize to the hub before the wheel goes back on.
Car on hoist at shoulder height, biggest deadblow hammer available from snap-on a bit of effort and they usually come off ok.
Good luck.
