I know my brother in law loosened all the bolts, lowered the car and drove the car back and forth a few meters and it worked for him.
Yup, use the weight of the car to your advantage. Don't know what kind of jack you are using, but if it is a screw/scissor type, you can lower it under control slowly. As soon as some of the cars weight is applied, it should pop right off. I've done this. If you are using a hydraulic jack that doesn't have as much control, put the wheel bolts back in just finger tight then lower it until it breaks loose.
I am not a professional mechanic. I am not responsible for any deaths resulting from this advise.
