To go faster.

For a second, forget that drift cars are moving sideways. Imagine it going around a corner without any slip angle. In order for it to go faster around the radius of the turn, a wider tire is preferable to have more lateral grip force. The same applies for drifting. Some of the grip force is used for spinning the tires to get some slip angle, the rest is for sticking to the road. The rear tire (closest to the most outter side) contributes a lot to the overall grip of teh car.
