Yea, you can get the stock lugs off without taking off the hub.
However, here is an update with my issue:
Spent about 2 hours working on one of the hubs a few weekends ago. I used a ton of PB Blaster along with a pry bar and big hammer. I took everything off from around the hub to have plenty of room. Despite all that, it still wouldn't budge. This thing is seized on there good. I don't even know if a hub puller slide hammer will work.
I am starting to consider taking it to the dealership or a shop and seeing if I can get them to bust the hubs loose for me. I don't trust other shops to work on my car though. I guess I could try a hub puller and give it a shot.

I would imagine a hub puller to work. You will probably want one with a large slide hammer. I think you could hammer it to kingdom come with a regular BF hammer and just damage the hub to no avail.
Post updates for us as I may just pick one up for future use.
