Provided the bolts are threaded all the way up then no harm on the front (see ellsy tanners post)
Thats right, there are no set rules, all depends what you have and need, so I would check you own car and what you need and make sure your ok.
Some space saver spares have long holes for alloy bolts and some have very small holes and need short bolts.
Some alloy wheels have short bolts which dont need changing!
Not straight forward, so best familiarise your self with your car.
There was a time when we fitted a red plastic holder in the bolt holes of the spare, which had the short bolts in it, so you couldnt not fit them without seeing them. I dont think this is done any more but was a great idea.
