Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I may be wrong but I believe that's what Garmin-Cervelo team ran on their R3 bikes for the cobbled spring classics so you should be ok.

I'm seeing quite a bit of conflicting info.... some can run the 25's no problem and others have issues with rubbing especially in the front.

I was pretty sure they used R3's last year and the R5 this year but I might be wrong

Garmin use special frames for Roubaix, with longer forks for tire clearance.
Keep in mind that different "25mm" tires will have different actual sizes, sometimes by quite a bit.
