Is the rear end an 8 3/4? If not, can you just pull the axle?
How would you gain access to the five bolt axle flange with the wheel and rotor in front of it ?

Thanks for all the ideas. However, still nothing. I just attempted a slide hammer with a steel bar across the two spokes spanning the nut. Hoping to pull the stud into the flange. No go. Didn't want to beat on it to hard afraid of damaging the wheel. Already started to curl the edge a little. Nothing a file and some polishing won't fix. The issue with putting the weight of the car on it is that the nut is on so far that it is into the taper of the wheel. So it is not loading the stud, but rather the nut on the taper. Regardless, I tried this, and still no go. Effing thing. Bout all I can see working is drilling it out. Have to figure out a way to make a good pilot into that key nut, and pray that I don't bust the bit off. Either that or take a sledge to the car and call the scrap company. Sorry, bad day.

Have you tried bouncing any ideas off anybody at tire store? I would imagine someone has run across this problem before and had a pretty good method of solving his problem without damaging the wheel - specially with all the aftermarket/alloy wheels on cars these days...  Good luck with it. On mine, I was able to put 3/4" box end wrench (on which I had to remove half of the wrench to get it into the well of the wheel itself between the spokes [AR 200S wheel]) on the nut to keep it from spinning. Then starting drilling (and grinding) (and taking time off for sanity). 3 days later it was off.

Read what I wrote...
I said if it's NOT an 8 3/4, can you remove the axle?

Tack weld a nut to the lugnut or cut it off carefully and replace.
I recently had a similar situation where I used a cutoff wheel on my grinder and cut through the center of the lugnut and lug stud. The stud is easy enough to replace. You may not have as much room with your wheels as I did.

Put 2 other nuts loose on opposite the bad one and lower some of the weight of the car down on it to pin the stud tight.
This and the impact should be enough, to get this finger tight nut off.

So many people are suggesting things he has already tried. read the thread before you post.
Knock the center out of the locking lug, and drill out the stud. I have removed several screwed up lug nuts this way. Start with a new 1/8" bit at the center of the stud and drill all the way through the stud. Then step up to 1/4" drill bit, again drilling all the way through, then use a 3/8" bit, drill all the way through. If your still centered on the stud, hit it with a 7/16 or a 1/2" drill bit. At some point, the nut will fall off.
When you get it apart, be sure to check the condition of the other studs, if 1 failed, the others can't be much better. Fix the problem before you get to do this with all the lug nuts. Gene

I read where he said he tried that. But, if not done correctly you can have a failed attempt.
This nut was finger tight, if done correctly the suggested fix should work easily. Just trying to emphasize that. 
68Dart, Im pretty good at stuff like this, PM me and I will help you with it. Im in canton, myself by the HOF
