Why did my alloy wheel stick...how do I get it off?

I have a 2011 F350 with a lightweight Northstar on it. I was taking off the left rear alloy wheel and it wont come off. It seems stuck on the thread studs. I tried banging it with a rubber mallet, but...

... Or leave the lug nuts one turn loose and drive around a bit to break it loose.

Would 'prolly work, but I would not want to risk the chance of bungling the stud theads... and there is always the chance that something will come up, get distracted and ya' might not get to completing the chore... I would not want to open up the chance of having a wheel come off with this practice should one forger and then start driving the next day thinking all is good. Be SUPER diligent with this type of practice.

JMHO.
