Rims.. I need help!

Told my lovely house spouse about this when he got home. He confirmed that the drop in height of the frame would likely cause problems with pedal clearance while cornering, he said you can get around the brake issue by using brake extensions, but he also said that the geometry of the bike would be altered and would negatively affect the steering.

His last statement was, "absolutely not recommended".

If the bike seems to fit other than having to stand on tip toe is you are straddling the bike I would leave it alone. Seriously, how often does one stand over their bike like that. Typically we have one foot on the pedal and have our bike at an angle when standing over them. I see the benefit on a bike you are taking off road and if you were racing and needed to come to a sudden stop and but both feet down but in over 40 years of riding I have never had a time when I have had to stand over my bike quickly. I would be way more focused on correct stem length and saddle position. Congrats on the purchase go enjoy the ride!
