put the lug nuts back on finger tight and go do some donuts.
Dang you're not kidding... I was able to get the rear left out and did not strip the bleeder screw.
I sprayed PB and I'll let it sit overnight on the pictured one. It's insanely tight.

Hey, I took a closer look today and I tried more PB blaster, a mallet, donkey kicks and nothing, absolutely no movement.
This is what it looks like after putting PB blaster vs the driver wheel which I was able to get fully out.
Rear passenger side:
This is the driver side wheel:
Does it look like to you the hub was put on AFTER the wheel was on? Meaning, is the hub holding the tire in place which is why it's not moving? I'm at a complete loss otherwise.
The frozen wheel is obviously the rear. if the rim is welded to the hub flange, the drum is probably welded too. I can't imagine the condition of the brakes under there. The other wheel is the front, and the flange length is different. My point is that if the axles are so rusty that the rims are welded...they must be in incredibly poor condition. You might never get that nut off the axle shaft. I hope you do not intend to drive this without major work
