245/45/17 and then maybe some spacers to make it a little more flush.

As for suspension, there are Suspension Techniques (ST) Sway bars, about $300 for a set. There are others too, but that's the one I always here about.
Coilovers are between $700 and $1000 depending on the brand you get. The Megan Racing ones are about $850? I believe.

Engine Swap:

The most feasible ones for the GT are the 3SGTE or the 3SGE. If you're looking for a turbo setup, then go with the 3SGTE, preferably a 3rd Gen.
It'll cost a little over 2 grand just for the engine and depending how much you want to build it, it can easily run up to 10g's or more haha

That's just the basic stuff I know about. I'm still considered a noob cause I've only been on here for 7 months, but I know a decent amount and I'm still learning a lot more!

Coilovers are better on the suspension, plus you can adjust the camber on the so there isn't uneven wear on the tires
