Default 1967 Riviera Question

Hello,
I have a 1967 Riviera which is in very rough shape. The brakes are seized on it and I need to roll it around.
I'm trying to get these tires off, but it seems that my socket does not fit through the spokes on the passenger side wheels.
The socket I am using is about as thin as they come, so Im not sure why it fits through the spokes on one side but not the other.
Any help would be appreciated, I've never dealt with rims that have spokes before.

Thanks,
Paul

Sometimes if the wheel nuts were overtightened it can distort the wheel.

Check with a good (NAPA) auto supply store and bring your thinnest socket and they just might have one more capable of getting the job done.
