Wagons don't have the fender flares sedans have. So while 245's are "easy" on a sedan, they're trouble on wagons.

Of course, suspension makes a huge difference on what fits and what doesn't. Lowering the car will lose you a ton of room, but you also tend to get more camber adjustability that makes up for it, for example.

Practically speaking for a car with basic suspension mods and no fender clearancing, 245s are the limit on a sedan, and 225s are the the limit on a wagon, IMO. More than that and you have to start planning what you're doing with camber, wheel offsets, fender rolling, etc.
