Assuming the stud pattern is the same (which it probably is) and assuming that the 13" wheels will go over the brakes from the 14" car, then there should be no problems.
Presumably both sets of wheels have a similar rolling radius...

is the 02 micra a k11 older or k12 newer shape, as the hubs and brakes and offset are totally different.
K12 is based on some clio 3 running gear
if its a k11 with 165/65/14 tyres then older 13 inch wheels should fit but are much narrower.
