If you are oversteering on corner exit, you can do one of the following:
1. soften front rebound damping
2. soften rear compression damping
3. lower rear ride height or increase front ride height
4. soften rear springs
5. add rear downforce

This is a bit of an oversimplification but should suffice until we have more information. Everything is about compromises. By adding more rear downforce, for example, you might unbalance the aero and cause the front to wash out (understeer) at corner entry.

So to answer your original question: yes, a rear wing will probably help.
Thank you for this insightful reply. I start with softening rear suspension and anti roll bar. Currently I run blue H&R anti roll bars front and rear. I bet that stiffening rear bar was wrong...
I am on 750/1000 with H&R blue and the setup feels very good.

When I put a grippy front Cup2 with Rear RR the car indeed oversteer easily when my rear was setup for less grippy front. I took the rear compression down from HS 16 to 6 and front +1 on HS compression and that helped a lot.

So if you can adjust your compression, there is a good chance you can control your oversteer.

I do have the GTS wing, but my speeds are 110mph - 70mpg and the GTS wing is
mostly for over 120mph and counter the lift, rather than actually creating a downforce.
