is it a good idea to use multiple spacers on one rim? (not that I have done this or had, just crossed my mind) three 5mm to be specific

Please don't stack spacers like your pancakes :\. Or on second thought, try it and I'll provide you the weak sauce.

I dare you to do it...just don't blame me when the wheel fell off because all 3 spacer may move around causing the lugs come lose.
