Will this rim fit?

Depth is not a measurement of ERD, especially if eyelets are involved.
Answer is, "yes you can do it, no it's probably not going to last (especially if you're replacing a rim from riding damage)."

Expected location of where the head of the nipple seats. Essentially, you are locating where the spoke threads end (at the slot in the spoke nipple).

Need to know the rim model to get the ERD from the manufacturer website. What year Turbine and what Stan's rim? MK4 is the version, most models have MK4...you didn't even suggest if it's 27.5" or 29"...or 26"!?!?!
For the RF Turbine 2024 the specs are somewhat confusing, they show two different ERDs for font and rear, with the 29" ERD at 600mm for the rear and 604 for the front and the 27.5" ERD at 562 for the rear and 566 for the front. The spec sheet does mention a confusing 'ERD with 2mm nipple head'...also they do not appear to have an offset.
For the Stan's assuming it's a Flow MK4 or Arch MK4 (the rims that match you 18.8 dept)
Flow MK4
29" ERD is 600mm with a 3mm offset
27.5" ERD is 561mm with a 3mm offset
26" is 536mm with a 3mm offset
Arch MK4
29" ERD is 600mm with a 2.5mm offset
27.5" ERD is 561mm with a 2.5mm offset
26" is 536mm with a 2.5mm offset
So, after all this bike nerding I would say go see your LBS if you don't know what you're doing...

I can build a wheel if I have the correct parts. Have done it a dozen times with great success.
ERD on the Turbine and the MK4 (29er/rear) appear the same. I know for a fact the offset is 3mm on the Turbine rim so that is also the same as the Stans. Looks like I can do a simple rim swap, which is the easiest type of wheel build and what I was hoping for.
Thanks for answering my question!

While Stan's info was easy to access RF somewhat makes it difficult to find the right info, they used to have full spec sheets available on their support page, now the say to drop them an e-mail but never answer if you write to them...you have the wheel in your hands so you obviously are in the best position to determine if it's going to work or not.

Just use this next time, with your experience building wheels I'm surprised to you haven't heard of ERD. Pretty much fundamentals of wheel building. Good luck https://www.prowheelbuilder.com/spokelengthcalculator
No. Burn with fire. All of it. Buy a new bike. Several new bikes. I hear Revel is on fire-sale.
Fire. Get it? FIRE!

Still, you need the full specs of the components to use a spoke length calculator. I personally prefer to use the DT Swiss one https://spokes-calculator.dtswiss.com/en/ but again I mostly use DT Swiss Rims, Hubs and Spokes.

Just realized RF offers a lifetime warranty on the wheel. The rim has 2 flat spots. But then I have to deal with finding the receipt, packaging and shipping. Plus it leaves me without my rear wheel for however long.
Would like to try the stans. Hoping it’s more durable for my fat ass.
Maybe @Norm is right… 🔥
