Changing from 650b+ to 29er

I have a Genesis Tarn 10 which comes with the 650b+ wheelset on 3" tyres but for a variety of reasons I'd like to use standard 29er rims with 2.10-2.25"
I'm assuming the hub type is 'boost' so will any 29er wheelset with the 110/148mm work ? There will be plenty of frame clearance as the large tyres come out the same size as 29ers anyway. Has standard 15mm thru axle.

the blurb on their website about the Tarn frameset -
Spec it with either 27.5+ or standard 29" wheel/tyre combo for ultimate trail versatility...... A new, 120mm suspension corrected, boost spacing front and rear (110x15/148x12mm) and Shimano's brilliantly simple E-thru I-Type rear axle.

Thanks Lemon! Looks ok then, tbh I looked at the specs on various sellers sites rather than straight from the horses mouth!1999 Scott Vail - Work commute
