I ran a similar set of Sport Technos on my 996 C4S and I used the factory 17mm spacer on the rear wheels. It worked perfectly.
Outcome qualification: Negation, uncertainty or missing explicit repair resolution overrides the raw extraction signal.

I ran the 17mm spacer on the stock swirl wheel and it looks just right, I want to get same stance.

Correct lug nut torque is vital when you're running spacers...
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have a set of 18" techno wheels that I'm going mount on my C4s. The wheels require a factory spacer, as the off set for these wheels are for a narrow body.
I have the car lowered, so the wheels do not sit flush, can I mount 2 factory spacers on the same axel so the rear wheels sit flush against the fender?
I'm sure your could...be sure to have the proper length lug bolts. Also, sometimes spacers lead to wheel balance issues - using two spacers might double that possibility. I'd just buy the correct size.
^^
Good advice above. Are you looking to stack the 5mm spacer on top of an existing spacer? It's possible but you're better off starting with the right thickness in the first place. It'll also be more challenging to mount your wheels without the lip in the middle of the spacer.
Some good reading from Elephant Racing:

I haven't heard of stacking two spacers together. I suppose that it would work if you had the correct wheel bolts, obviously both spacers would have to be hub-centric. I worry a bit that having multiple spacers could lead to issues with wheel balance as mentioned above, but I really don't know.
Even the most well-machined spacers have some play; using two of them adds another potential slip interface. I'd buy the correct spacers rather than using two. Using a stack of spacers between the hub and the wheel has the potential to introduces stresses that the lugs/lug bolts were not designed to have to handle. Correct lug nut torque is vital when you're running spacers...
I ran the 17mm spacer on the stock swirl wheel and it looks just right, I want to get same stance. I plan on mounting the techno wheels this weekend, I'll post some pics.
It's a very subjective thing. I thought the Technos looked great with the 17mm spacer. I don't like the look of cars with too much offset. Some people really like that look.
I have a pair of 25mm hubcentric spacers with pressed in lug studs. You bolt the spacers on with the stock lug bolts then mount the wheels on the spacers studs & use lug nuts to secure the wheels. I'll take $25 for them + shipping or you can pick them up in O.C.
