take the lug nuts off again and try hitting the back of the rim lightly with a hammer. there is most likely some corrosion or rust build up. hit it kick it whatever it takes just make sure that your car is secure on the jack because the car might rock a little with you hitting it. i see honda wheels stuck on all the time.

what kind of squeek. like when you roll the car or when the suspension moves up and down?? check that the backing plate isnt hitting the rotor? when you get the wheels off take a good look around and make sure nothing it rubbing anywhere.
