[Closed] 50mm rims on a fatbike (26in)?

I'm about the push "buy" on a Hugo 52 in 26in flavour. Currently there's the Surly Dirt Wizard 2.75 (wot I have at the moment) and the Knard 3".

I'm guessing there might not be too many companies lining up to produce 26+ tyres, so I'm wondering what future this wheel might have.

Are 4" fatbike tyres usable with a 50mm rim?

Probably don't need deep section aero rims like that on a fatbike. 8)

I'm guessing dirt wizzards in a 650b frame with good clerance might work. Is that the plan?

I've got a Chumba HX1 which looks like it should work with 26+, but it's a big outlay to find out!
