My wife has always want the rainbow wheels from i9 for her DH bike. This week we finally managed to find a set on Pink Bike for sale. Unfortunately I did not realize 110×20 is different from 110×20 boost. In fact I did not know 110×20 boost existed.
Her fork is the Bomber 58 which has 110×20 spacing and her new wheel is 110×20 boost.
I'm hope someone knows a way to convert boost to non-boost. There looks to be enough room to move the hub over a couple of mm, but so far I'm not having any luck finding a solution.
At this point, the best I can come up with is ordering the non-boost hub and re-lacing the wheel.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I would contact i9 directly and ask if you can swap axles or endcaps. They will know best.
Aside from your stressful situation, I’ve had that exact wheelset (blue on blue) and they are sick. Good luck!!
Sorry dude, I think you’re out of luck. There are some spacer kits (Wolf Tooth Boostinator) to convert a non-boost wheel to fit a boost frame + fork, but not this way around
Time to upgrade your fork too?
Well, at least I learned something new from your plight. Sorry just the same.
