Wide isn't everything, it's a marginal gain that will let you run lower pressure but your tires will mount up fine. Why don't you try it first w/ the wheels you have?
What's your use case for your singlespeed right now? Whether you can (or want to) singlespeed or not depends on where you ride. For me, it would be overly limiting. It'd be low cadence, knee busting climbs and spinning out on the flats. It's unlike singlespeed MTB (which I ran for 8 years) where you gear it so you can pedal up but only have to coast down.
