front with 3x
left 243.3
right 254.7

rear with 3x
left 254.1
right 253.3

seems the same as long as you rim measurement is correct - best to get the rim and actually measure for yourself... to double check

So is this what to go with?

Front 253, 255
Rear 255, 254

I see that CRC only sell even sizes, so do you round up or down?

Also what spokes to buy?

DT Swiss comp?
