[Closed] Does this exist? Hardtail that'll take fat(ish) wheels and normal ones?

OK, as per the title, I know you could just get a fat bike and stick normal wheels in it but I'm thinking something more along the lines of a Swift or similar (so 29er normal wheels) that could take a fat wheel (maybe in trendy 650+ size or just straight old 26" fat) in the rear - by fat, I mean 3ish", not a really fat fat wheel. Even better if it was normal QR hub spacing - eg 135/100. I currently have a swift with a rigid fork which will take a 3" front tyre but the rear would be much more limited. I'd also ideally want to avoid a wider BB shell and would be ok with sacrificing super short stays as I don't actually reckon they do much to improve handling in themselves. So am I barking up the wrong tree or does this exist/can it be built?
