according to rolling diameter, depending also on the widths of those wheels, yes the recommended sidewalls are 30 and 25. some roll with sidewalls of 35 and 30 for the thicker sidewall for more rim protection, but with more chance of rubbing. if you were to ever rub though, rolling the fenders would cure the problem.
