There's a trick to freeing a stuck-on wheel that almost never fails. You already have the lugs removed, but now reinstall them leaving about 5 turns before they start to get snug. Now lower the car to the ground, get in and start it up. Drive back and forth 4 or 5 feet a few times. Now jack the car up and test the wheel. It should be nice and loose now, ready for you to replace with your spare so you can move on down the road

I can personally vouch for this. It happened to me in the fall on my sportage when I was trying to put my winter rims on. The only thing was that I had to do more than a few feet. I had to go out of my driveway and around the block. Eventually it worked and no harm done to rims (alloy) or vehicle. Obviously you have to be careful and go slow but if you have all the nuts on and just x little loosened I don't think you can do to much damage if you go slow.
