also anyone have any suggestions on how to get those wheels off. i dont care if it breaks the stud or not, thats an easy fix. they are stripped and i dont have those sockets. i just need to break them off.

I had the problem of two lugnuts frozen to their stud on the same wheel. The first one I drilled off; on the second one I used a cold chisel to remove. One cold chisel was 1/2" wide, the other was about an inch wide. Either way, it took a good amount of time and effort to remove the lugnuts (and one trip to the hospital). I had to replace both studs by the time it was all over with.
An out of balance wheel/tire can cause a lot of shaking in the vehicle. Many Jeepers have experienced that when mud became lodged in the backside of their wheel, dried and hardened, and ultimately caused the inbalance. After the dirt was removed and the wheel cleaned, the problem disappeared.
