Is there tyre clearance?

Chainline will be wrong so get the BB widened

And the stays will need to be a bit longer.

And the disk mount will need realigning

And alloy frames dont like cold setting either.

And you'll probably die.

"just need the frame widening at the rear "

err

Bit more to it than that to get 4" or so tyres into the back of a 26" wheel HT. Wouldn't it need all sorts of chopping up and rewelding new tubes into it

Be better to sell that frame and buy a fat bike frame?
