need some help
hi everyone, well last week i ran head on into a curb going like 50 trying to avoid a accident, my two front rims were totally all crushed and bent, and the only body damage is this; the front right wheel seems like it hit the wheel well or something and the fender got raised about a half a inch or so, anyways, i put the rear rims to the front and borrowed a steely from a friend and used my donut for the other replacement, i am probably getting 4 new wheels and 4 new tires tommorow (family loan, lol), but today i went out and the front right wheel is flat!! i looked at the tire and it wore down so much on the inner side of it that the wires from the tire are coming thru!!, when i have been driving it (drive alot, like 800 miles a week), the alignment was really bad, it would pull very hard sometimes, at first i thought that it could be just from the mismatched wheels and the donut causing the erratic steering, but know i dont know, everything looks good and tight under the car, so my question is just from hearing what happened and the way the front right tire wore down very quick, u think it could be something more than just my alignment?? anything i should specifically check out??? i want to get this all taken care of the right way and dont want to get scammed at a repair shop -thanks alot everyone

if your fender looks raised a little it sounds like you have frame damage. your tire sounds like it's rubing somewhere as you drive. go to get an allignment and they can tell you whats up. they can tell you if that tire is pushed back, foreward, or side to side compared to the other tire.
but to me it sounds like you have a date with a frame rack
