Thats fine tho. Everyone can disagree with me when I have a perfectly functioning car sitting outside.
If your worried about the size of your meats, just get some 315's and be done with it

I get this is popular a popular fitment, and from the side or front 3/4 view it looks fantastic, but how do you guys deal with so much poke up front?

It almost looks like the wheel doesn't fit, even with a bunch of camber:

It does look odd in my opinion. A aggressive non stag wheel/tire sticks out up front more then the rear and its not a good look.

Different strokes. IDK if that's because I come from an FF background or have spent too much time around drift cars. But give me aggressive front > rear any day.

Yeah, doesn't look right on a RWD car, especially an s2k where it has such a sharp low profile nose with larger rear haunches. Should be the other way around, not only that but less up front actually works/fits better since you need more steering clearance up. If you ever want to run a BBK you cant get away with as much concave up front either. Non staggered has too many compromises when you weigh it all out. Now there are variances you can do to help such as running the same width front and rear but staggering the offsets or tires.

can I fit 255's square?

i have 255 square set up. lowered with about 1 or less than 1 finger gap. front fenders need a slight pull or very folded, rear need a roll and relocate tab then you should be good

Camber was at -1 and now its at -2. However i did not run -2 until after the fender were re shaped.

I have no need for more camber as i cannot make the car under steer at the track no matter how hard i push into the corner. Rear losses grip before the front.

First image i posted was UK alignment at relatively stock height.

I'm really starting to think that spring rates are the biggest factor if these will fit or not. If you don't have much travel in the suspension then you might be OK.
