Had the same problem changing a wheel stud on a friend's focus jsut the other week. basically i took a metric nut that just barely didn't fit (standard nut) and smacked it on with a hammer, used my impact and came right off. not sure what size to use but yeah that about your only option versus cut your rim off lol.

Caution this will easily destroy a socket so be prepared to buy a new socket
