Sometimes the wheels will stick to the hub. Spray the area where the hub and wheel meet with PB Blaster or equivalent. You can hit the wheel from the back side with a heavy plastic dead blow hammer (or sledge hammer if you're ok with that), or reistall the lug nuts, but only tighten them halfway, then drive the truck a short distance. This will usually loosen it up so it can be removed.
