as above, its not recommended to go any more than 3mm, otherwise you are weakening the boltface too much

Because spacers push the wheel OUT!!!!!
if u had a ET38 wheel, ground 2 mm off to make ET40 then added a 5 mm spacer you would end up with ET35 which is loads worse!!!!!

Spacers push the wheel out, not make it sit further in, they decrease the offset rather than increase
