I wouldn't cut the heads off the bolts that hold the wheel center to the axle clamp unless you have a plan for getting the clamps out of the hub.
For bolts that have been tightened by King Kong either I borrow my neighbor's 3/4" drive sockets or I use and old 1/2" ratchet that has had its head filled with braze. Add a 4' piece of 1 1/4 pipe usually persuades the stubbornest bolt to turn.
If you are not in a hurry, soaking the clamp bolts with your favorite flavor of pennetrating oil won't hurt anything. The clamps are open at the botton and will hold a fair amount of oil. A little vibration and heat will help too.
If I have mistaken what you are trying to do, usually the rim refers only to the every outside part of the wheel that the tire mounts on. In that case, cut away. Use grade 5 bolts as replacements.
