Sorry, can't tell you what to change or how much it'll cost, you're asking the impossible there.

You need to take it to a dealer or independent specialist and get it looked at properly. If you've managed to hit hard enough to push the wheel back into the arch, it's highly possible that the mounts or the chassis have been distorted, or that there'll be additional, not easily obvious damage to the steering system etc.

The consequences of getting this wrong aren't something you want to think about, so bite the bullet and get it sorted properly.
