Maybe, but I certainly wouldn't put money on it.

I have 15 inch wheels on my t2 and the calipers barely clear by like a 1/4 inch so a 14inch is not gonna work.

14" inchers are 14" incher no matter WHO the manufacture is..... I tried to see if my GSL-SE rims would fit as a temporary thing to see if i could use it as a spare while i looked for a new "spare" at the junk yard but the caliper itself was the only thing that was stopping me. no amount of shaving material off to fit was going to help.

its just too big, you'll need a MINIMUM of the OE 15" FC wheel to fit the TII/GXL brakes

It's not that cut and dry, different rims have different profiles and it'll depend on the offset, the spoke profile and such things, but it is unlikely that it'll fit, but I wouldn't want to say that NO 14" wheels will fit. Some might just fit.
