Welcome Jlwhitt77.
There are inner nuts and outer nuts. You have removed the outer nuts to get the outer wheel off, now you need to remove the inner nuts to remove the inner wheel. Inspect the wheel stud holes for wear to be sure the inner nut isn't contacting the hub. The inner nuts are stamped L or R on their face to indicate the thread type.
Also, the tightening torque on the lug nuts is 450 - 500 ft. lbs.
It also looks suspect that you have the widow maker wheels.

These below pictures might help understand the Budd style “double cap nut”, or DCN, mounting system. The wheel pictured, and others like it, have the “widow maker” “ Firestone RH-5°“ style outer rims. A Google search will yield much info on their safety risks. Below are also pictures of their center line rim joint. Stu
Widow maker joint.
