Default bigger wheels

Hello all. I'd like to put a bigger foam wheel on my Superstar 40 trainer. The 10 x 5 on my OS 40 LA is about 2.5 inches off the ground, which means I mow a lot of grass with my prop unless the grass is freshly cut.

My question is, can I just put a bigger nose wheel on? Or must I change all three? My concern was that with a larger nose wheel only, the angle of the fuselage will change (i.e. the angle of attack will be more like a tail dragger).

Does this matter? NOTE: current wheel dia. is 2.5"
How about a 3.5"?

Thanks,

Paul
