Take it to a tire place and ask for a rotation.
Several weeks ago i help ones of local member swapping the springs and both of his front wheels was stuck hard to the rotor and a BIG kick will do the trick.

If you manage to get the rim off, spray the hub with some white grease. This will prevent the rim from sticking next time. Make sure to wipe any overspray off the rotor. Good luck

i've had this same thing happen to me before years ago with my old rabbit. I had to use a torch and heat it up really good. ended up changing the wheel and rotor...but of course i upgraded all the rotors.
so yeah heat should do the job,

why is everyone still telling this guy to kick it even when he said he drove it with the lugs on loosly around the block??? 3,000+ lbs wont break it loose but you all seem to think kicking it will help??
i agree with the "take it to a tire shop and ask for a rotation".
