wheel stuck....

well to make my story short and sweet the first day it snowed i was going down a hill doing less than 2 mph going to work and well it was fresh so i couldn't stop and was going towards traffic so me being the retard i am yanked the ebrake and went right into the curb with my back drivers side wheel and now the arm or whatnot is bent not even that much tho just a few degrees so i don't feel like replacing it but anyways this happened like 2 months ago and now here's my problem.....i went to put my 17's on today and the first tire i did was the one i hit to see if i would run into any rubbing problems since my car is 3" lowered so i take the bolts off and the wheel wouldn't budge so i was like ok and kicked it like you normaly would do to get it off and it didn;t do a thing so i sat there for 20 min just trying to get it off till i finally gave up and put the bolts back on so yeah i don't know how im going to get that wheel off any ideas....

well you could loosen the lug nuts and then hit the backside of the rim by the lip where the tire sits, and go around the rim hitting not too hard in all different spots roudn and round the rim and it would probably come off, but you gotta think, if it is this hard coming off cuz of some damge, it is going to be as hard or harder to put it back on most likely, cuz whatever is bent and stressing against the bolt holes to hold it on, when thre rim isnt there, it wont have anytrhing to stress against so it will all shift to where it was trying to and that 17 is most likely not going on, so youll have to get a new drum/lug bolts or whatever is wrecked/bent back there once you get it off. the bent arm wouldnt hold the wheel on though cuz the bent arm would just change the toe in/out or the camber of the tire.

well i don't even know if it is bent i mean i hit it going less than 2 mph

well, maybe the rim bent and not the arm, but obviously something happened if the wheel now wont come off. only way nothign could be damaged is if you only took off 3 of the 4 lugs, whihc i doubt.

nope the control arm or whatever the part is called is bent i got the wheel off and put my 17's on and the back left fender dropped down right on top of the tire so i gotta get that replaced now

somethign is wrong besides the bent arm then (at least sounds that way to me), because you would have known this would happen by the way the fender sit over the 15's, like if the fender hung down over the 15 and the 17s were offset wider than youd know the fender would sit on the tire. your 17's should be same O.D. as the stockers. something must have gave way when you jacked up the car or something. I know on my front tire once I had removed the lower castle nut fastening the lower arm the the hub(??) and not tightened it all the way and I got a few feet and the weights stripped it right off of the stud and my fender set on my tire, check to se if a bolt is broken anywhere around pivot points back there.
