That's because that kind isn't structurally rigid enough (i.e. not safe enough) at thicknesses greater than that.

If you need to move the wheels out more than that, you should be getting the hub adapter type that replaces the lugs. Or, swap hubs on your car.

That and the existing lugs aren't long enough.

Or get rims with the right offset. Perhaps if you tell us you whole story, i.e. what you have now and what you are trying to accomplish, we can better help you.

Cheers.
