I don't doubt that you can put a 12mm lug bolt through the hole made for a 14mm lug bolt.
However, the mating surface of the lug ball on the wheel will be the wrong radius. A 12mm ball won't surface properly on a 14mm socket surface, so the bearing loads will be all wrong.
As an engineer, I wouldn't bet my life that it will all stay together.
