Not to my knowledge, you need a 14 in wheel with a 4.5 in PCD and 4 stud holes

5/8 A/F head wheel bolts would probably be too small so you would need 3/8 Whit head bolts on 7/16 BSF or UNF thread bolts

pcd is 4x114.3
which is very common.

The only issue is the centre hole will be too small for the mm hubs.
i had a set of rear drums trimmed down (4 prongs that centre the wheel) to fit a pair of early 4 stud ford falcon wheels

I never got around to getting another set of front drums to trim down, but it should be a similar situation. You probably cant go as small as the rear due to the grease cap/bearing set up.

Best to get it done on a lathe, if you want to go back to normal wheels you can get some locating rings made up

I have a set of Morris Oxford Wheels with 165 X 14 tyres fitted to Romeo which are the same PDC as an MM
