29+ & 27+ / Run WTB Trailblazer 27.5x2.8 on IP=036 frame?

Hi All,
Looking into the possibility of getting a 29er FS frame and running the WTB trailblazer 27.5x2.8 tires.
However, I am worried it may be too tight.
Anybody try it?
I think the right prototype would be a Trek Fuel EX, which has short chainstays and wider boost spacing for the 27.5 plus tires.
There are several name brand frames out there, but we are talking $3000+ for the frame alone.
So, I am thinking to get the 29er FS as a stopgap measure until official 27.5+ bikes are available from Peter or others.
Any thoughts?
