Steel wheel bolts?

Just stuck my steel wheels on with some winter tyres, I used the same wheel bolts from the alloys is this fine? I've torqued them up correctly they seem fine but I've heard mention of having to have different bolts for steel wheels but wasn't sure. I guess you don't get spare bolts with space savers that are steel?

Any thoughts?

I have always use different bolts steel and alloy rims. Alloy and steel rims have usually different taper.

Hmmm had a look online but can't see any reference to specific vw/seat steel wheel bolts.

I think the taper is slightly different but I don't know where or what to purchase, they did mk2 Leon with steel wheels so they must exist.
