I find files for wheels but have no Idea how to scale them in my slicer for 1/25 scale... what do you guys do... I don't want to be just guessing.

You don't have to guess, it's just basic mathematics.
1:25th scale, the obect is 25 times smaller that the real object.
1:24th scale, the object is 24 times smaller that the real obejct.
Inch to mm conversion, 1 inch is 25.4 mm so 1 inch in the real world is slightly over 1 mm in 1:25th scale, 1.016 mm to be exact.
So if you have a wheel that's 19 inches in the real world, that's 19 times 25.4 = 482.6 mm, divide that with 25 and you will get 19.304 mm.
