If all the lug nuts are removed and the tire will not come off it is frozen onto the hub. This is really common with aluminum wheels. If you can safely support the vehicle so that it will not fall off the jack you can try kicking the backside of the tire. This will work most of the time.
If that doesn't work put the lug nuts on till there just snug and then loosen them 3 or 4 turns. remove the jack and drive the vehicle back and forth until the wheel falls off the hub.
Everyone I work with as well as myself, have at least a four pound plastic deadblow hammer just to remove the wheels that this happens to.

This happened to a person outside my house last night (2/25/11) on a Jaguar X type 2005 with original aluminum wheels. Four guys standing around feeling very non-manly not being able to take a wheel off a hub. I asked God to help us and he put it in my head to go google the problem. Found this on the third page. We put the lug nuts on loose brought the jack down with the weight on the wheel. We backed up and went forwards about 20 yards in an S pattern. We did that until we could see a wobble on the wheel (not rolling straight). Once we saw the wobble we jacked up the car and the wheel came off easily. We all collected our Man points and went to bed. Thank you for the solution!
Fantastic! Glad i could help jbarrett!!

You have to be more specific about why you cant remove the tire whats keeping you from removing it once the lug nuts are removed?
it is located behind the wheel hub of each tire in front...it rest inside the hub and held by one torque head bolt and the other end connects to the sensor harness.
