The only thing around my house are straight country roads. I'll have to drive a couple miles with loose lugnuts to find a parking lot.

Can�t just do a u-turn from you driveway onto the road then back to the garage? I�d try this first before going miles up the road. My left rear wheel was �welded� on and I only had to make to 2 low speed right turns.

If that doesn�t work then I'm on a "death race" Try a couple of right and left turns and make sure the nuts are loose enough to allow the rims to walk off a bit. I backed mine off finger tight plus 2-3 revolutions.

It came loose Now the work begins.. replacing a bad rotor. I was thinking about changing them both even though only one is chewed up
