I will be widening the front street rims to mount 275 width tires.
My question:
Is there a direct correlation between scrub radius and tire width when it comes to traction.
Or maybe I should put it this way:
Would you rather have the extra rubber with increased scrub vs nominal scrub and a smaller contact area?
I am more interested in performance than daily driving / parking.

===================================
I Don't think It's a either/or situation. You want as close to, "0", scrub, as you can get.
If the suspension is set up correctly, you can have a wide wheel/tire combination and have very little, to "0" scrub.
Take care,
