Explanation

I were will replace I am
Wish is most commonly used in imaginary/unreal situations, as in
I wish (that) you were here. (But, you are not, and I miss you).
The tense of the Verb that follows I wish is mostly in Past Tense.
In Subjunctive form we use were and not was after wish.
Look at the examples given below:
I.m very fat. I wish I were thin.
I wish I were taller.
I wish to be taller. (Present Time) Hence,
I wish I were is the right usage.
