Not without spacers they won't. I've got 05 KR's on my 03 with 2" spacers. They changed the backspacing when they went to the coil springs up front instead of leaves.
Sorry I don't remember where I got mine at but they're the plain aluminum 2"ers and they work fine. You can find ads for them in every diesel magazine you pick up, that's where I found th place for mine. I think you can get away with 1.5" spacers to fit the wheels but you'll have to grind off the tips of your lugs so they don't stick out through the spacers, you dont hve to do that with the 2"s.
Thank Shade. Where would be a good place to pick up the spacers?
Go look up in the Excursion forum. There are lots of guys putting the newer wheels on the older trucks. I can't remember where they get the spacers from, but the spacers are highly recommended.

Does using a space effect the longevity of the wheel bearings? i thought i read that somewhere?
Probably not. Generally off setting the wheels further out will drastically shorten the life of the ball joints, but I think in this case you're only moving them out to the stock location, so the effect should be negligible.

Call Fred at wheeladapter.com, he sells the best hub-centric spacers available. I've been using his spacers (while towing) going on three years now. Here's the link: WheelAdapter.com > Wheel Spacers
IMHO I would try the spacers just because those wheels look so dang good though the ones on Jeff's truck are very nice they are 04 KR wheels I believe.

Yes mine are from an 04. Those OEM 20s would look good though.
