Does anyone know how to resize a bootstrap carousel?

I've been trying to resize my carousel to cover the full length of the page, whilst keeping everything at an 80% width, here's an example - https://www.exhibit.ie/ Here's my code:

<!-- carousel -->

<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel"> <!-- Indicators --> <ol class="carousel-indicators"> <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="1"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="2"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="3"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="4"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="5"></li> <li data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="6"></li> </ol>

  <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="item active">
      <img src="img/carousel/carousel-1.jpg" alt="..." class="image">
      <div class="carousel-caption">

      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="item">
      <img src="img/carousel/carousel-2.jpg" alt="..." class="image">
      <div class="carousel-caption">

      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="item">
      <img src="img/carousel/carousel-3.jpg" alt="..." class="image">
      <div class="carousel-caption">

      </div>
    </div>
     <div class="item">
      <img src="img/carousel/carousel-4.jpg" alt="..." class="image">
      <div class="carousel-caption">

      </div>
    </div>
     <div class="item">
      <img src="img/carousel/carousel-5.jpg" alt="..." class="image">
      <div class="carousel-caption">

      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="item">
      <img src="img/carousel/carousel-6.jpg" alt="..." class="image">
      <div class="carousel-caption">

      </div>
    </div>
     <div class="item">
      <img src="img/carousel/carousel-7.jpg" alt="..." class="image">
      <div class="carousel-caption">

      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <!-- Controls -->
  <a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="prev">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
  </a>
  <a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="next">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
  </a>
</div>
