Use an air impact wrench, i bet you will get em off that way. The lug nut wheel studs are easy to replace, so don't worry too much if you break more of em..

Go buy 5 new studs(dealership recommended)from a parts store. You should also buy 5 new lug nuts. If you have aftermarket nuts, then buy a new lug kit. Go somewhere to have them use an impact wrench on it. They may come off if you try and have them tighten them first then loosen them. Either way, you need to put new studs and nuts on when you are finished if they are all rusted and seizing on you.

In the future, use just a tad bit of antiseize on the threads to keep them from rusting solid. In the south, it is not much of a problem. When I lived in Alaska, I always used a little antiseize everytime I took off my wheels or they would rust solid every winter.

Make sure they torque to approx. 100 ft pounds. I torque mine to 110, but that is just me.

here's a lesson always use anti seize try doing this get a torque wrench or breaker bar. And tug on it, like pull hard and let go and pull hard again etc... or try it hitting the breaker bar with a hammer, it simulates what an impact wrench does. Spray a buncha WD40 on the lug also, dont' know if that'll help though

Use PB Blaster. It comes in a yellow can and looks like an aerosol infomercial, but it is the best penetrating oil I have found (penetrating oil... how dirty sounding...).
So, um, yeah. Spray the PB Blaster. Good shit.
