67 to 69 are narower than 70 to 72 so if you have a 70 yes.

I have 69, so the 71/72 axles are too long. I ended up having the 69 axle flanges welded-up and re-drilled for 5 on 5. The guy who did it used a CNC machine to align and drill the holes and only charged me $50 for the pair including new wheel studs.
