Hi i just got a 2000 jimny and want to modify it does anyone know what the biggest tyres are i can put on them, highest i can raise it, and is it possible to fit a turbo on it,

Biggest that will fit standard is 215/75/15, with regard to mods, the sky is the limit, you can do whatever you want, just depends how much cash you want to throw at it. Turbo is not a good idea though, if your engine is the G13BB it is possible to fit a G16B out of a Vitara for more power.

the biggest tyres are i can put on them,
I dont know your level of tire fitting skill, but if your asking this question, The biggest practical size I would suggest a 31inch tire, its been done many times, there is a pdf on trimming guards floating around on the internet somewhere.
If you are resonably competent, you could probaby get some 32s in there, 30s are probably your best bet.
235s are the most common size put on above a 215.
when fitting any tire size above a 215 you will also need to address the gearing. a kit for the Jimny Transfer case will be okayish for most tires up to 33s but low (along with the high) ratio is only reduced by 24%. You are better off fitting the Transfer case from a sierra.
I have seen a jimny with 38s "fitted".
I plan on 30x9.5s for my current build while Im living in Vanautu, 35s when I get back to AU.

highest i can raise it,
off the shelf kit, big jimny 75mm kit and a 2 inch body lift. or Procomp do a 4" lift.
DONT DO IT.
I recommend fitting a 2 inch lift only.

and is it possible to fit a turbo on it,
Yes. but unless you know how and have a spare $6-8K dont bother. Your much better off putting in an M18 out of a Liana in it. Way more power than you will ever need in a Jimny and way cheaper, more reliable, and engineerable .
