yep u can actually make these cars handle quite respectably even without massive bling bling wheels 
stiffer shocks/springs wuld be the first go
then front strut brace preferably the factory twin cam one as those 1 are factory and two are actually a better brace as it connects to the firewall aswell.
then do the sway bars front and rear, whiteline do kits for the ae82, and dont forget you can make a big difference by changing all the bushings around the place like control arm bushings and sway bar bushings, get rid of the stock rubber crap and put in nolathane or similar stuff.
then think about making up a rear strut brace i made one up for mine, cost me about $50 in parts, mostly steel and welding rods , and it makes a difference thats for sure u can really feel its more solid in the rear end.
as for wheels, yeh u culd go bigger but i reckon 15 or 16" is the biggest u'd want to go. personnaly i like the old skool look of the factory mags on these rollas and u shuld be able to squeeze 185/60/14's on there without to many hassles that might be the biggest u can get on there as i think they're a 5" rim. i managed to get 185 pirellis on mine 
then the final mod to make it worth while is to whack a nice blacktop 20v in the engine bay
good luck
cheers
