I think the kit looks good other than the rear bumper. I have no idea on the wheels. It would all depend on how wide the fenders are i suppose.

No way to know if the width of the fenders on this kit are similar to that of Prior Design...but if they are, then a 265x35x20 with ET 5 on fronts should get you close, and 325x25x20 with ET 10 should get you close on the rears. If you want to run 19" instead, you'd have to find comparable series/ratios to stay close to stock diameter. May want to install your kit first and measure exactly from that point to make sure you don't get stuck running spacers, etc.
