Somene smashed a curb with that corner of the suspension.
I'll bet you need a new frnt lower control arm, spindle/knuckle, upper a arm, and probably inner and outer tie rod on the damaged side - hell the subframe/unibody may even be damaged too with as bad it as sounds!!!

Yes there's not really a natural way for the wheel to come THAt far back as to literally touch the fender well where the door starts.
Try a salvage yard and grab the entire front corner of the suspension/brakes and swap it on, and rather than unhooking the brake line simply keep your brake caliper/hanger and bolt it to the replacement knuckle. Just be sure to get the exact year, make, and model parts so it all bolts up.
I'd also suggest an alignment afterwards even if it looks to be straight again.

its drivable, but highly not recommended. you chew through tires faster, and at any given moment, youe suspension can/will fail because of the added stress on the components.
