27.5" Front Wheel on 2014 Yeti SB66

[dmurphy48]

Looking at possibly putting a EX1501 27.5" front wheel with a 2.3 Maxxis High Roller II tire on my 2014 Yeti SB66.  The front fork is 2014 Fox Float CTD.  Looks like I have about 3/4" space between current 26" Maxxis High Roller II tire and crown of the fork.  Has anyone else done this with a SB66?  Thoughts or opinions from people that have done it or tired it and it did not work out?

Thanks

Dale
