Jeezes christ, NO torch.

Get a 3/4 drive, and use a four foot pipe on it. It will come off, guaranteed. Do it with the car on the ground, work through the center cap hole.

how strong were the impact guns ?, you need about 300 ft lbs on the guns to get the nuts off, but they should come off easily with that and often unstake themselves.

You can always add the floor jack handle to the end of your breaker bar to extend the leverage.

You are using baby impact wrenches and breaker bars. No need to un stake the nut.
