    Use a big breaker bar mate!

    Mine were dead tight too, so i used a 3ft bar to get them off!

    As Coonper said get a big bar mate, the more leverage you can put on it the easier it'll come off!

    The other option is to maybe shock it by using a lump hammer on a wheel brace, first hit it as if to tighten it then anti-clockwise again to free it off!!!

    You should slip the metal bar over the wheel brace handle therefore extending it and giving you more leverage on it!!

    You see the thing he's holding? Slide the bar over the top of it (obviously has to be a hollow/strong bar).

    This principle bassically gives you extra leverage on the nut. The reason i asked if it was a locking nut, dont do this to locking wheels nuts as you can shear the removal key.

    You see how this is much bigger than a normal one?

    Thats a breaker bar.
    You could also try this:

    Breaker bar or a pipe on the end of your socket wrench/the standard wheel wrench is the solution dude.

    I done it with a hube brace bar that locks the doors closed and i didnt even need to put pressure on it the weight of the bar alone got the bolt off!

    I use a weight lifting bar pushed over a rachet or wheel brace for loosening stuck bolts.
