Lug bolts (and all proper bolts/screws) do not serve as pins, holding the weight of the car up against the shear strength of the bolt. When you torque them down you're actually stretching the bolt, which clamps the mounting surface of the wheel to the hub so hard that they cannot slide against one another (so the car doesn't "fall" onto the bolt). The issue is that as you shove the wheel further and further out, you're ramping the torque way up, so you'd need ridiculous lugs under insane torque, and even then you'd probably be killing your bearings like you mentioned.
