If you move the rear axle forward, with the same taper, you wouldn't have to narrow it as much. It might corner better.

I actually used Neil Blanchard's dolphin model that he made in google sketch up. I plan on using the same car, so it saved me a lot of time. My rear axle will be about a foot or 2 more forward and should only be about 7-8 inches narrower than the front which is what the honda insight's rear track dimensions were. Based on the streamlining template, the sides can have a lot more taper, but the top needs to be pulled up a little bit.
