Odd sized wheels?

Hi all,
I tried to fit some new Gatorskins last night to both wheels (700c x 25) and found that the rear tyre was too large to sit in the rim. I tried both new tyres with the same problem and also tried the old front tyre to no avail; the only tyre that fits is the old rear (which is the one that really needs replacing).
All tyres are labelled up 622-25; I measured the diameter of the wheels and the rear is 5mm smaller than the front which would explain the issue I guess.
Basically I just want to check that I'm not missing something before I go ahead and buy a new rear wheel. The wheels are branded Sinuoman if that means anything to anyone.
Cheers,
Neil
