is having different offset wheels up front really bad?

I ruined my front passenger wheel and bought another one like it on the board .. but the offset is different than the one i used to have

i wonder if its safe for me to drive around (going on a road trip) like this .. !?

It depends on how different. Up to 5 mm or so it should be ok until you get a replacement wheel. Offset changes the steering geometry somewhat.

How about putting the orphan wheel on the back. It'll make almost no difference there assuming the tire is the same and width is the same as the other side.
