Help With Tires

Quick question for anyone out there that might know. I am trying to change my brakes, but when I take all my lugs out of my tires, niether tire will come off. I tried and tried, niether will come off. There is a lug in the middle, but does that come off? I don't want to mess up my truck. Thanks.

These wheels are hubcentric. All the lugs do is hold them in place. Sometimes, if you haven't had them off in a while, the wheels and hubs corrode and freeze up. If you can't get them off by hitting the back of the tire, some have had success by putting the lugs on loosely, and driving in a figure eight. After you do get them off, put some antiseize around the hub and you should not have any trouble in the future.

Hubcentric

I tried that, but it didn't work. Any other suggestions?

You couldn't loosen the rim with loose lugs and driving? That was the only way to get mine free on my old truck.
