I did something similar about three years ago, bought a used wheel with a dynohub but the rim was much narrower than I wanted, it was sized for a tire width from 18 to 23mm which is narrower than any tire I have ever used. Searched around for new rims with the same or similar ERD and found one with the width I wanted. Taped the two rims together with the valve stem hole lined up right and transferred nipples, one at a time. Worked great.
Make sure you get the right pattern, I think the proper term is French pattern or European pattern to match your existing rim.
