If you _really_ want to run the original rc10 rear rims, you can still sometimes find Tamiya Holiday Buggy/Sand Rover tyres online. I gather that these were quite popular as a trick setup back in the day...
Problem is that the old HB rears are often almost as expensive as rc10 rears.
You could probably also stretch the easily-available frog/hornet tyres onto the rims if you really needed to.
As recommended, just get some b3-compatible 2.2 rims and open up the area where the pin fits in the wheel a bit with a hobby knife and/or body reamer to clear your 1/4 inch axles.. and you're good to go.
This is slightly "bodge-ey", but it will work fine.
The "right" way to do it involves changing out your axles and bearings.
Cheers,
