Thanks for all the helpful replies so far!

Okay so i have taken some photos, the first is the wheel with smaller ERD, you can see the spokes are 'deeper' into the rim. The other one has a larger ERD, so more of the spoke is showing.

The ERDs are 598 and 602 mm respectively. I think i have settled on using DT Swiss RR440 rims, which have an ERD of 599, so they should fall nicely in between both ERDs.

The wheel with larger ERD has the spokes barely sticking throuh the nipples when I look at them from under the rim tape. (See photo) So i think there should be plenty of play to go from 602 to 599mm there, because the spokes are on the shorter side. I dont think i should run out of thread.

Any expert opinions on this?
Any other things I should know going with these DT Swiss rims?
Thanks!
