Somebody slammed that wheel sideways into an unyielding object and bent it.  REPLACE THE STEEL?ALUMINUM WHEEL right away!  Remount the tire after checking it foir damage and you should be OK.  Check if your spare is mounted on the same wheel.  You might use this but you will then need to replace the spare wheel.

This often happens on an icy morning turning a corner too fast.  Truck goes sideways and the wheel hits the curb and gets bent.
