Is the car on a hoist? makes it much easier.
I usualy have the car up half way, put one lug in a few turns, and kick it from the back.
Or if its a POS I use a sledge, tryin not to hit the rim.
Or if its a new car and nicer rims, I get my pry bar and find a way to pry it off.

sometimes kicking wont do it. Jack it up, hold a piece of 2x4 across the back of the wheel and beat the shit out of it with a sledge. Dont be afraid, you wont damge anything as long as you use the wood. be sure to put one lug bolt in a few threads so the wheel doesnt go flying when it does come loose.
