Tires and Wheels problem
2000 Volvo S80 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I removed the 5 bolts from the rear tires and can't get the rims off. What else do I need to do?

I usually kick the tire from behinde to get it off. You could also try a big rubber mallet and hit it from behinde. What happens is that there is rust on the hub so the rim sticks to it. Once you remove the tire clean up the hub using a wire brush.
