Put one bolt back on to hold the wheel on (so it doesn't fly off) and then take a rubber mallet and give the wheel a good whack from the inside - this will usually do it.

tire

I wouldn't care if the tire flew off but he's got the right idea, beat the hell out of it with a rubber mallot or 2x4 or something that won't damage it and whack away. or it would be kind of funny to remove all bolts and then drive it, those bastards wont stay on long
