Bring sun some liquid wrench and some freeze off. Spray a ton right on the hub to shrink it.

The best way I’ve found to break them loose is to put the lugs back on but a couple threads loose from snug then drop the car back to ground unfortunately you can't use that trick.

If you every get them loose share what you did.

I just thought of what i would try.

With both wheels off the ground the opposite side will turn the opposite direction but: wrap a ratchet strap around each tire one attempt to go forward one backwards. Tie the loose end to something strong in the front suspension then step on the strap right in the middle. Hop if yoi need to. This will apply over 1000# of force at the bottom of the tire and ∴ 1000 ft·lb torque.

Put a couple lugs in loosely each side so the wheel won't fall off just turn a couple mm.

Whichever side breaks loose, set up the other side with the strap on the bottom and repeat.

The setup would have one strap going off the bottom toward the rear and attached to something on the rear like rear subframe. The working strap comes off the bottom and longer the better so maybe the tension strut.

For a little force multiplication, a 4' 2x4 under the middle of the car over the strap then step on it.

Put the strap though itself when going around the tire so it snugs onto the tire. Jumping on the strap should put 1500-2000# impulse. Use a thick strap. It's enough to snap those thin cheap ones.

(I've done this trying to pull an x5 off a snow berm).
