Think I really F-ed up.... Need help or advice

Ok did new pads on my car and it turned into a job from hell.. Long story short had to order a new caliber and it took 2 days so my car was left on jack standsfor that period of time. Here's the problem you know how theres really no place to put jack stands on the rear. Well I was just searching around one night and I seen a guy place the jack stand under the tabs on the rear sub frame where the camber arm bolts to. Well that's where I placed mine this time and I thing over the course of 2 days the weight of the car bent the tabs and now the car is all out of wack. I drove maybe 50 miles and my passanger tire is almost compleatly shot!!!!!! the side wall is gone, You can't even read the writing on the tire anymore........I'm really kicking myself in the *** right now!!!!!! I don't know what I was thinking!!!!! I know better then this!!!!
anybody have any advice? or a fix? Can these be straighted out? Thanks!!!! If anyone can get back to mw asap that would be great, I have a little car show on sund I',m trying to fix it befor hand!!!! Thanks again

Your best bet will be to get it to an alignment shop before you drive it anywhere else. If you're lowered and/or have a rear camber kit installed already, that will make getting it back in spec a whole lot easier. But unless something is completely broken a good alignment shop should be able to get back on the road.

Unless your tire is flat you shouldn't be wearing your sidewalls off. I put my jack stands on that point all the time when I switch diffs. Never had a problem. Try getting it aligned first and than to from there.

If you don't know how to jack a car up, or place the stands... a BJ (brake job) is probably out of your scope.

Sorry.
When we built his car it was on jackstands for months.. I think he just had a major brain fart!!
