I cannot get the right rear tire off my 97 Intrepid. I have all the lugs off and the car jacked up. It feels like the wheel is still attached to somthing. Please help!!!

Hi there,

If this is a mag wheel, they can "grow "and bind up on the hub, what i do is replace one nut loosely and with the car on stands and on a firm level surface, give the wheel a good kick with your heels, side to side, this will normally free it up, but make sure that the car is safe don't take any risks.
