No,
Spacer fit on the studs you have and then the wheels fit on the spacer studs pushing the wheel and tire away from the jeep.

I take it that you are using the jeep wheel's?

I'm just not sure which width you would need 1.25 inch or 1.5 inch spacer
Have Fun

I forgot the second part of the question
1)No for longer bolts

2)Yes for spacers on all 4 wheels
a) looks
b) balance of the jeep in corners and on highways.
I would not want the back end of my jeep narrower than the front.

Now the fun stuff, Wheel spacer which ones and which width?
