New 9K Aero Owner - First Round of Upgrades - HELP!

I recently purchased a 1995 9K Aero which is also my first Saab. After selling my other car, I'm going to slowly start to upgrade the Saab with some of the funds. A few questions:
1. I was going to upgrade the wheels and tires first. I was thinking of MAS MGR rims (7.0 or 8.0x17) or Fondmetal 9A (7.0x17) with 225/45-17 tires. Will these fit without rubbing (rolling the fenders would be no problem if needed)? If so, what is the correct offset?
2. ECU upgrade - which offers the best bang for the buck or they all essentially the same? Who has the best reputation? If I continue to modify the car (exhaust, downpipe, dump valve, cylinder head, etc...), do I need to send the ECU back to have it reprogrammed or will it "learn" automatically if I disconnect/reconnect the battery? My previous car had Haltech laptop programmable engine management and I've gotten spoiled by the adjustability :-)
3. Next mods after the ECU? I was thinking 3" enhaust from the turbo back but am open to suggestions. Injector /FP regulator upgrade? Turbo?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Derek
