Rim braked wheels on a disc bike

I'm thinking of getting a Planet X London Road http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FRPXLONROD/planet-x-london-road-frameset which is a disc braked frame.
However it's primary duties are going to be on the turbo trainer - where obviously you don't use brakes - but the wheel I have for my turbo is an ordinary rim braked one. Would that still fit?
Would the same apply to the front as I would only have a rim wheel for that initially too?

I don't think it will - rear spacing on disc is now normally 135mm vs 130mm for rim (my Liscio 1 has 130 but it had the option of rim brakes). The front wheel will be fineROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0

Fair play, was just a thought. I'll leave it for now; come back once the disc standards have been agreed
