Icon2 Honda Crx 91, Tire Grinding against my body kit side skirts

I have a Honda CRX 1991, manual transmission, d15b2 engine, dualpoint injection. My two front tires are grinding against my body kit side skirts. It started a while back when I hit a curb, then a month later my starter went out and I started kick starting my car which I think pushed the wheels back more, now its horrible. Every time I hit the break the wheels eat the side skirt and burn rubber.

Take a look at the photos!
Please any ideas or advice is much appreciated.

You'll need to host the pictures somewhere like photobucket.com.

We would need to see the underside of the car though.

Just get the car up on some jack stands (dont trust the jack itself) and have a look at what you have broken. When you hit the curb its likely you bent or broke something.

Depending on what is broken this has the potential to be very dangerous, your wheel could fall off. fix this ASAP.

If my wheel fell off it would've done it by now. Ive been driving this thing for a year and 1/2 now and everythings been okay. I heard it could be my ball joints or the strut bars need to be adjusted.

We need to see the underside, the side view tells us very little.

You can check the ball joints and tie rod ends with the front end off the ground. Wiggle the wheel side to side and up and down, look for some free play. keep in mind the wheel will be able to move side to side a bit before it hits the steering lock.

Could have pulled the radius rod bushings through the front crossmember?
