What frame are you using? Pics?
You're using caliper brakes? What calipers are you using? You'd need a massive drop bolt and some long arm calipers to reach a 26"
Why are you doing this?

Sometimes. Answer my first question about the frame. Make/model/year, and I'll have some more for you here.
Many 6sp MTB wheels are set up for a 130 dropout width, which is pretty common for 8 speed road frames, for instance.
