just try kicking the end of the tire with your foot.. but make sure the car is stable and you have a few jack stands under it.. and dont kick it so hard.. just apply a bit of force.. that will work.. has happend many times.. and that did the trick

happens all the time. Aluminum rims, steel brakes.. you get corrosion.. I usuall jack the car up, remove the lug nuts... and sit on my butt and kick the tire alternating from one side to another

Ditto. I luckily have access to a hoist, so it's pretty stable, I have had to do my best impersonation of Bruce Lee on a couple of occasions smile.gif
Make sure you keep one lug nut on, about 1/2 way off, so the wheel / tire doesn't go flying.

Hope these help you mang, congrats on the AEM, best choice.
Now just do the swap.
You need to make sure you clean any rust off the mounting areas and put a bit of lube on the studs before you reinstall.
Yes, lube...
