If you want them to fit under the body, you should get Rustler rear wheels for the rear and front. I have done this before and that's what I used.

You may also want to consider a pair of RPM "offset compensating front a-arms" : http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEVST&P=7

unless you want the front to be narrower than the rear.

I am only going to be changing the rear wheels, will it make a big difference on how it handles if the front is narrower than the rear?

you should be ok you front tire should be harder and narrower vs you rear being softer and wide. the pressure of weight to the ground is about the same so it should handle about the same in the turns (might push a little if the rears are way softer). also sc tires are a little taller so you should have more weight in the rear + wider/softer tires. so you should have more forward traction. you might need a wheelie bar if you got the power.
