I have 18" 3GS wheels. Bought 20mm spacers from ebay and installed on the rear wheels this past Saturday. No problems Saturday & Sunday.

Driving home from work yesterday, rear passenger wheel made a sound. I can't get the wheel off the spacer, it's stuck. Shot WD40 between the back of the wheel & spacer + inside the bolt holes. Any suggestions?

is the wheel off with the spacer stuck to it? If so take a mallet and keep pounding the spacer as you rotate/roll the wheel. Also try PB Blaster instead of wd40

Hit it with a hammer kick it throw a brick at it. Just stuck need some force to break it loose.

Yup, what he said. Just kick the top sidewall of the tire. It should break loose.

Hitting the inside of the wheel with a rubber mallet got it off.

The source of the noise was the nuts on the spacer holding it to the rotor hub came loose. Found 2 nuts that were loose. Strange how the other side was fine.

Did you torque those lug nuts? I use anti-seize in the studs and around the hub.

I don't have a torque wrench. Thanks for the advice.

I've had to torch my k2500 big block suburban to get wheels off. Melts the clear coat but I had no choice. 16 lb sledge couldn't do it and risk to him really rims....

Crc makes a anti corrosion spray that I put on before I put wheels on, works well, look for it.

I have loosened lug nuts some and then jacked car up and dropped the floor jack as fast as I could....

Here's a easy way we do it at my work. Take all the lug nuts off the wheel and put one back on by hand loose (maybe only 2-3 turns) and give it a good boot stomp from the backside
