If you have tried the recommdations of [PONTIACSD 19]&[ECAVATORED 2]and failed you may try by applying heat to the studs. If you have access to a set of torches,[not a bernzomatic torch, you'll be waiting forever]apply direct heat to the studs till they turn red, proceed to use the lug wrench with caution. With the removal of all the lug nuts and the wheel is frozen to the hub take a 4'- 4x4 and hit bottom edge of the rim with end of the 4x4. Don't swing it like a bat rather use it like battering ram with full force on the edge of the rim. I works for me 99% of the time. Be carefull and have at it.

If the nut is just rusted so bad it won't break loose take a socket on a long ext. put it on the lug take a 5 pound hammer hit the end of the ext. like you would a punch it will break the rim away from the nut and you should be able to turn it off.
