Yes, but check the chainline that it hasn't been pushed too far outboard.

Or did anyone make 68mm ready Italian BBS?
Old (1960s or so) Italian track bikes often had 65mm wide shells. And 68mm wide English or metric thread shells with damaged threads could be retapped to Italian thread. And more than a few bike-boom era Japanese frames had 70mm English thread shells. That's why you should never use shell width to determine thread spec.
