There's nothing wrong with having a wagon, they are cool...I owned an 02 WRX Wagon before my STi, and the most noticeable improvement in hadling came from changing the wheels and tires. I ran 17's on the wagon with a 225-45-17 and it drove great. 18's should be okay, I would suggest staying at 17.5 width or less, and you will likely still have a little rubbing here and there.

Also, the rear sway bar transforms the wagon, even on stock suspension. I'd recommend those two mods first
1) Rims and Tires
2) Rear sway bar

Then evaluate how it feels to you.

Good luck
