I’ve read that the pcd  centre bore and nutlug are all the same but obviously it’s a different tyre size I’ve Also read that j would have to purchase different nuts /bolts for the wheels ? Any advice is appreciated

Ford use their own special nuts with a big taper on them. Don't use these on anything but Ford rims, it can be extremely dangerous lol.

They should physically fit. You'll need new tyres though as the overall circumference will change, using the ones on them now will mean your speedo is around 5% below the speed you're actually doing. You want to be within a percent or so if possible.
