Absolutely would not recommend this. Sounds sketch as fuck.
You might be able to find a reducer lower cup

Not suggesting the OP should do it but just commenting that i ran a very similar combo and was fine for several years including plenty of off road stuff. I used the lower spec CAAD12 alloy steerer model but tried it briefly with the exact same fork as above and it worked the same. I've gone back to the OG 1.5 fork (as should the OP!) and neither bearing or cup have suffered.

Yeah OG fork is 1.5 but it can work if bearing angles are the same. I ran the same fork on my Dart with a 1.5 Hope lower cup. Was fine but a bit gappy for grime.
