Can i put the one-one baby fat wheels on a standard fatty?

Would i need to use the baby fatty forks ?

You'll have a very low bottom bracket?

And a super limited tyre choice.

i guess the bottom bracket height will be the same as the 24" model?
as for Tyre choice yep totally appreciate that and it's one of the reasons im thinking about getting the normal fatty frame in a 16" then fitting 24" wheels so it has an upgrade option.

basically i can get the baby fatty which is a 13" frame or get a 16" normal fatty and fit 24inch wheels, the 16" gives a longer reach which would be nice and it can always take bigger tyres if need be, then again it may just look silly with the smaller wheels

Only if the BB drop is the same on both frames - it may be less on the 24".

BB drop on the standard 16" fatty is 53mm
BB drop on the 13" baby fatty is 24mm

so am i right in thinking the BB on the standard 16" with 24" wheels would be 29mm lower than the baby fatty ?

If the tyres were the same height then yes.
