No, you must not. You should never use heat to loosen a tight wheel. It can shorten the life of the wheel, wheel nuts, and wheel bearings. Excessive force, such as hammering the wheel or tire, can also cause damage and is not recommended. Slight tapping of the tire side wall, such as with one's hand or a rubber mallet, is normally acceptable.
