It's just seized on the hub from heat and exposure to the elements. You can either kick the snot out of the tire itself (kick it at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions), repeatedly until it comes off, or hold a piece of a 2x4 against the tire and hit it with a mallet - hard. Don't hit the wheel, just the tire. Hitting the wheel may dent it, but hitting the tire (or kicking it) won't hurt it. Beat it like that and it'll come off.
Spray around lugs /center hub/and try to where backing of rim comes into contact with hub -rust and road grime have rim semi fused to hub than use a mallet on rim tap areas that were sprayed and smack on tire from front than behind
If say those tires. omg 18 years old the factory puts on , Tinnerman clips. they aid fast assembly at the plant. they are flat rectangle clips. if see just force them off and trash them. or you have a rust issue. no clips, it's rust. if rust ,one kick of foot and bam its off, if foot weak, a short 4x4 works too. with a force of say chopping wood to tire side.
it's a wheel not at tire. tires skin off rim/wheels. the OP is removing the wheel/tire assembly. not removing hubs. the car did have tinnerman nuts day 1. ive owned, 4 suzuki's some near new. http://geometroforum.com/topic/4681062/1...
do not do the methods using other moving vehicles to snatchh off a rim. dont. nor drive with loose lug nuts
use pen oil. at hub edge. or behind rim center then hit tire with 4x4 wood post. or rich buy a dead blow hammer. HF has them for like a whole $5
but look for those tinnerman clips found on all new suzuki/geos. day one. my 96 had them due to PO thinking they are important. (they are in the trash heap)it's a wheel not at tire.

Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
yours is bad, why not offer CONTEXT to the question>?
which engine.?? 1.0 or 1.3?
the FSM covers every tiny step here.
factory service manual,, get one and read all the special steps.
or at alldata.com , log in and read, its all there, every day.
The G series, engines, 1.0, and more.
is SOHC, single overhead cam.
all have a cam belt
so in a nut shell,
remove the valve cover
remove belt cover. (lots of steps, im not typing them all out) RTM
loosen tensioner stud, and idler center bolt.
the belt falls off. (timing is now lost)
release all lash adjusters.
remove all came caps.
came is free.
on mine i had to lock the cam and pull the front cam cog wheel.
then remove the front cam seal.
out is easy,
back in , is many move steps (timing) and such.
You have to: Remove the large nut that holds CV axle into to hub and gently push the axle out of the hub. Remove the brake caliper. Pop the tie-rod-end's ball joint out of the spindle. Remove the two bolts that hold the strut to the spindle. Remove the bolt that holds the "a-frame" arm to the bottom of the spindle.
The hub (the part that holds the 4 tire studs) is machine-pressed into the wheel bearings which are hidden inside the spindle, so you will have to have the hub pressed out of the spindle to free the brake rotor which is behind it.
I have a 97 Geo metro with a broken key inside the ignition. I have removed the column cover and have access to it but don't know how to remove the switch
1990 Geo you should be able to push it in, tighten the small bolts by hand, and tighten the large nut by hand. Then put the tire on and lower it to put some weight on it. Lock the brake and torque to spec. 1990 Geo, the big nut needs to be 129 ft lb.
Are you removing tire from rim,(wheel)?
or removing the wheel from the hub ?
front or rear?
my guess, is wheel off rusty hub....
