Worst case: You bent the frame.

Take it to a shop - this one's beyond you.

Wow that some skinny wheels
You have prolly bent the controlarm, try and find one at a junkyard or maybe someone in this forum has one.
If the frame is bent seek professional advice.

look under the car. if there's something that looks different (bent) on the right side than the left, replace it.
