ABW (just up the road from me) will do that for you, a nice silver 22B 4 door lookalike
Really don't think thats neccessary though, with your bhp just a set of decent tyres will do the job (won't last long though )

Hi Tom ..
Yeah mate i had the same problem with all the power i'am running
In the end to get all my power down i had to go for a ABW , Wrc Style wide arch replica kit & larger wheels with a deeper offset
Looks good on the road & i can use all the power now
Front & rear arches look like this ..
Speak to Daren @ Autobodyworks , They supply & fit various kits

If this is the car I think it is, you do not need larger wheels, even with a lot more power.
Get some decent tyres, Goodyear F1's, Vredestein's or maybe Yoko Prada's and then get the suspension geometry done, this will sort any issues you may have.
Possibly the ideal route would be to talk to Zak at Mocom, he can supply the Vredestein's, and set the suspension - see link at the top of the page
