Dont use that rim in that drilling. Theres a reason why i dont stock it in 32h spoke -failures at the nipple are common. 24h is fine 32h isnt. Half the wheels i built with this rim asymmetric rears in this drilling broke spokes at the nipple. Rebuilding without interlacing helped but its an odd one as 24h wheels never seem to break. I can't explain it well.
Use the xr22rts. That what i build with. There is no good reason to use such a deep rim with 32 spoke count. There's enough radial and lateral stiffness from the spokes meaning a shallower rim is fine.
Also build with sapim hm nipple washers. Kinlin rims like these.

Complete noob needs some help determining spoke lengths. I have a set of Hope Pro4 disc hubs set up 12x100 TA on the front and QR135 on the rear and looking to get some Kinlin XR31RTS rims but don't know what length Sapim Race spokes to get. The hubs are 32 hole front/rear.
On the rims, should I look to get the offset rim for front/rear or the non-offset for the front and offset for the rear?
