I can echo what a lot here have said. I started to track my M2 last year and I'm using Apex EC7 9" ET31 up front and 10" ET33 in the back. In my first year I didn't make the coilover and camber plate investment so my experience would be slightly different to yours.
I stuck with standard widths on the rims so that I could run them in stock class for autocross.
On the apex rims I run the 71R's staggered (255 front and 275 rear) and like many have said they work amazingly on the track. In my first track day I was moved straight from Group C to B and in the middle of the year they moved me to Group A. With no camber plates I had to several cool down laps per stint or I would have destroyed my tires. I spoke to quite a few people with M2's in the club and while they run RE's, none can make them last an entire season.
I couldn't find anybody running the RS4's on M2’s, but I was talking with two people (one 996 C2 and one Mustang GT) and both are able to run their RS4's for at least a season. The Mustang being a similar weight and power I would say it's pretty comparable.
With cool down laps, I could only make the RE's last for 3 events so I am going with Hankook's this season.
Btw I saw you are using Pagid pads, that's an excellent choice. I use them as well! I would suggest only running them on the track because their noise level is ridiculous.
