Guys are pushing 900HP+ on their RWD M5 nowadays, the key would be wider tires to hold more power (600HP). My M5 traction is terrible, it's fun but not fast as it could be.

325 rear tires would be great.
The 295's aren't horrible, but a wider contact patch would help put the power down. The Shelby GT350 (None R) comes with 305's in the front and 315's at the rear, I believe. Wider rear rubber would be nice.
