Probably not. In those days, the wider chainline of MTB vs. road was generally achieved by use of a longer BB spindle, so the relation of the taper to the ring mounting face is much the same. You should get a wider Q than road cranks, but I'd be surprised if it was enough to solve your problem. You probably need something with Q>170mm
