Clunk, Clunk, Clunk ONLY when turning Right?

My car has been lowered. The other day I was turning right and cut it to short and scraped the front passenger side tire on the curb pretty hard.
The next day since my two front tires were bald, I replaced them with good ones. Which may be rubbing, none the less, I believe to have a issue here that needs addressing.
It's not a CV joint because it only appears when turning right, it's defiantly on the front passenger side tire. My friend says it sounds like the trans axle. It could also be bearings. My friend said it could be the rack and pinion steering. Does this car even have that type of steering?
This sounds scary and very expensive.
I will provide more information when I know more.
The car did not do this prior, and it does now pull to the right a little bit, which it did not do prior to the curb incident.
Thanks in advance!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

#1 Dig in the trunk, find the lug wrench.
#2 Make sure lug nuts are all properly tightened.

You do NOT want to see your own wheel pass you on the road.
