sounds like youve got a stripped stud or lug, put the iron on the lug and pull the tire out and twist the lug wrench, that should help it come off, if i were you id grab a set of nismo studs n some spacers.

first off that sucks. but i have been there many times.... trie to but pressure on the back side of the nut as much as possible. you might trie prying on the tire with somthing to put more pressure on it also air tools would help. but if all else fails cut it off and get a new stud.
