Wheel wont come off
So i jacked up the car and took off all the lugnuts and the tire is like stuck on there. I had just drove it like 30miles so maybe its the heat that caused it to get stuck. Or is it something else.

Grab a dead blow and start whacking the back of the wheel itself (lip). I just had to go through this and for about 5 minutes I was swinging that dead blow as hard as I possibly could.
This was a constant problem on DSMs, the wheels would rust weld to the rotors. The rotors would rust weld to the hubs too but that is another story.
Anyway, the way you removed a rust welded wheel was by jacking the stuck wheel until the tire was just off the ground. Then with a 2x4 longer than the width of the car, slide the board in from the opposite side and hit the tire at the bottom. One hit will do. Have a throw rug on the pavement to keep from marking the wheel.
