A good swift kick to the tire with the sole of your shoe should break it free.

You could just bolt em back up and crank the wheel hard, right or left to get access?

Is the car jacked up? Sorry I had to ask. If it is, the wheel should just be sitting on a rounded protrusion and after you remove the 5 bolts the wheel should come straght off. If you are having problems, try grabbing the wheel by the spokes close to the center and lift slightly and pull twords yourself.

It's probably too late now, but I always put a little lithium grease around the metal hub to keep the rim from rusting on. That's why it is difficult to remove.
