In case anyone is interested:
As an alternative to the Hunt Wheels (because they wouldn't arrive in time) I bought some Pro-Build Chosen Hub / Alex Volar Trail Wheels - 27.5" from Merlin now. They seem to do the job and are easily adaptable between a few QR and thru Axle standards.

For a tyre I wanted something with more thread and knobs than a WTB Horizon, less than a resolute or other mountainbikey tyres and overall a little less wide than the Horizons because of clearance. I am going to try the Clement/Donnelly Strada USH which are heavily reduced on Planet X right now (£15 instead of £40) .
