More than likely, no. Any given spindle and hub will take specific bearing sizes. A bearing that is too large will not fit inside the hub or on the spindle. Bearings that are too small for the hub will create a very dangerous situation. I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers you have now to determine the correct replacements.
