Does anyone know if 04+ S2000 rims fit on FDs?

... and a higher offset means that the track (distance between the left & right wheels) will be narrower, and the car will be less stable.
In other words, even if you could fit S2000 wheels on an FD, it would be bad for handling.
245/45R16 tires will fit on 3rd Gen 16x8" wheels , you know that right?

Stock offset on the 04 wheels is +55 front +65 rear, 17x7 in front, 17x8.5 in the rear.
Stock tire sizes are 215/45 front and 245/40 rear. Though the fronts are a really skinny 215, narrower than most 205's. The rear are a pretty wide 245 too.
Make your own choices from there, but at least now the correct info is out there.

With those measurements, a set of rear wheels on all four corners they should work pretty well actually. You could put 255/40 or 245/40 on all four wheels and be fine. Don't get the front wheels though, stay away from anything narrower than 8", and since you are upgrading the diameter too, I would consider 8.5" a minimum so you can keep an equivalent load rating on the tire (thinner sidewalls hurt the load rating so you need a wider tire to compensate).

It's a bad idea, but I'm sure some idiot will do it anyway....

If you run 255s thats +30mm width, at 50mm offset, that would put 15mm increase inboard and outboard, so with 65mm offset that would put all 30mm inboard, shouldn't that give you an identical track width? If you run 245s then yes you sacrifice some track width, (5mm). Ideally you should keep the same offset but with this setup you won't have to worry at all about rubbing the fenders, and there should be enough backspace clearance (check Steve Cirian's website to double check) to not worry about rubbing the stock springs. Why all the outrage over 5mm loss of track width when there are people running around with a 285s in the back and 225s up front?
Edit: I saw your other post being outraged about the ridiculous staggers too so at least you're being consistent .

The wheels will stick out more with a higher offset... making the track wider
