Two by Four is the best method
This approach of using a two by four, perhaps stabilized on the floor of the car with another piece of wood, was discussed in the last few weeks by another member. Using that blocking method and sufficient torque on the wrench will loosen the nut easily. This is the best overall method and defeats the tight wheel nut without a problem. If you need to add some length of pipe, etc. to the wrench handle, that will work even better when you have an unusually tight nut. Elementary, my dear Watson!

Exactly... I just did not bother with any stabilizer pieces as the carpet onthe bottom of the board held it quite steady against the floor.
