I do have to say that I have a 250 with a 300 motor and I used the 250 wheels for the slicks and the 250 front wheel with a 300 rear with the A-13's

You're talking a 115 width rear with the Moto3 sized slicks too, so you'd be going through more tires. And grip will be different too, so proceed with due caution if you're going to try. When I tried them on my bike the grip was good until I really started pushing it and the back end would move a little but nothing really alarming. That was on new tires with a date code from 2007
Fresh moto3 sized tires are likely to be a good deal better for grip!
