I know it varies based on many factors, but I'm just looking for a vague ballpark... I have no experience whatsoever.
In case it matters, my tire sizes would probably be around 245 and 265. The car is a 135 with mods as listed in my sig.

Should get an adjustable camber kit regardless of tire since that will both improve your times and help with premature tire wear.
I like the Michelin Pilot Super Sport or the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's for track/street combo, but both are pricey about $1200 for the set. The PSS should fit without issue at 235/265 with the right offset wheel, but the RE-11's may need a spacer and camber in order to fit in those sizes. Best bet might be to look for tires in 225/255 to ensure fitment.
