Assuming the 25mm is the rim's exterior dimension, that should work fine. Check to see if the rims are hooked (it will be obvious if you look closely). If they are not, that is probably most of the problem. If they are hooked, it is probably an installation issue (most likely getting the tube trapped under the bead).
