did something stupid...

Writing this in a jiffy so forgive me for the typos. I drove my car at 40mph for 2 miles and thought the car acted weird (steering to the left) but didn't decide to pull over right away and have a look. I thought I was just low on air and would pull up to my usual gas station which was 5 miles away. It was not until I noticed my car was slanted at a stoplight that finally pulled over. Yes, it was a flat tire. So now i'm on the spare which was close to being flat as well (30psi). I also forgotten to tighten the lugs with my tire iron and drove 20 feet before I remembered. Dee dee dee. What kind of damage should I check for? Bent rim? Messed up hub? thanks. Yes, go ahead and flame.

If you didn't damage the thread on the studs, just tighten everything up and you should be ok.
