if it came on the car NEW prolly
if it came on used may been aftermarket nuts, you can go to teh store and look for a set that matches.

listen
Take a 12 point socket just a little smaller than the nut hit it with a hammer until it goes on all the way take a impact and it will come off. I have this problem all the time and it works.

I can promise that if you put the tension so tight that you were hardly able to clamp that wrench, it will bite hard enough and position it so that you can step on it with your body weight and it will come off. Trust me, been there and done that when i thought there was no hope either. Good Luck
