Looks the goods, Front tyre profile looks waaayy to small lol, mechanically I think you'll be disappointed in the change, prob better to spend the money on the 30, the 35r will be good for 500rwhp

Mind you, The 25 can make bloody good power anyway, and if you already have it then it cant hurt, I have an RB25 in one of my cars (not VL) although its a built motor, its on 550rwhp on 25psi with a GTX35 on pump 98, seen a few stock 25's with head gasket and ARP's run into the 500's on e85 though
