Even though 98% of the people on this forum never use the potential of this car to actually have it matter. 
Get the rims if you want them. And yes, they do fit.

Surface area has zip.**** to do with friction, but it does effect ADHESION.
Street tires are generally friction more than adhesion. Basically you want the tire wide as you need, so it can handle all the heat and wont wear out too soon (the rubber will 'key' into the irregularities in the road, which can provide grip but also can physically wear it down) and so you can get enough of a slip angle.
And yeah, the wider tire will break traction after the first, but this has more to do with contact patch and how its 'facing' vs where the rim is pointed... its complicated. I cant even begin to explain it all, it would take hours and require re-reading a LOT of stuff.
But anyway, GENERALLY, wider is better but more expensive, as in wider doesnt HURT unlses it causes hydroplaning. Narrower tires that are inflated properly will hydroplane later than a wider tire - especially if its underinflated. Ultimately, though, COMPOUND matters more than the surface area, unless youre dealing with race slicks that are sticky and work on adhesion - then surface area matters a *LOT*.

uhh, cause it looks funny. Done. hehe. Us veterans kinda have a rule of thumb. For the FD we typically require a minimum of 0.5" increase in width of increasing the diameter. AT least for me it's that way.
I do my best to do 17x8.5 or 18x9.0. Never going back the other way. You can actually buy his rear wheel and use it as your front wheel. hehe. Then just buy two more rears.

You know what, that's a DAMN GREAT IDEA. I don't know why i didn't think of that 8" +50 would totally work on a S2K if you play with tire sizes. Up front a 225/50 should be great, in the rear hmm have to think if you can go wider and retain gearing. hmmm. I'll work the math laters. FD is 67.1 centerbore and S2K is uhhh, well honda always SMALLER. hehe.
On top of that I have these SPECIAL HUBRINGS hehe, in 67.1 outer diameter so I can make the FD wheel hubcentric to the S2K. WERD UP.
Thanks dude for that pic, "knocking head against wall".
