Wouldn't fit in which direction?

Spacers keep the spokes from hitting the face of the calipers that face out the side of your car. They can't do much for not fitting in diameter. Well, they can if the wheel is internally tapered, but usually to push them out far enough so they clear by a minimum of 2mm or so, requires too mush offset change.

Big spacers can cause big problems with handling, fender rub and tire wear.
