yes they will. you will probably need to cut down the steerer though.

thank you i am just worried as i swapped by bmx forks like a year ago and found out they both the forks where so loose. i just dont want to go buy these forks and find out i have to buy a new headset as money is tight at the moment as i just bought a gaming pc

there should be no reason it does not fit... the steerer widths are the same. and if you put the crown thingo on the new forks it will work with your hadset.

Same steerer tube size: 1 1/8"
Same axle size: 20 mm
Only thing that could go wrong is if you're buying the forks second hand and the steerer has been cut down too short to use with your frame, if you are: find out about the steerer size. Otherwise, you'll have to cut it down, but thats no issue.
