The Hondas do have at the back suspension arms which are holding the wheels,Big suspension bushing,which when they snap off or cracked,are causing clank noises because are not holding enough the rear axle. on the other hand the vehicle loose the tracking as a result to cause wear and tear of the rear tires as well. Ask from your local mechanic to examine your car.
It sounds like you may have much more damage than just the tire. My guess is you have bent the axle, so I suggest not driving it, as you can have damaged structural integrity. Tow it.
Have the rear-end check out (3rd member) center part of rear-end housing, and your rear axle bearing's, axle bearing if bad can also damage rear axle shaft's and will also have to be replaced.
check the front axle actuator. make sure it is getting signal to actuate, but these actuators are notorious for problems. most likely the actuator is bad. it is on passenger side of differential/axle housing. plastic cylinder with wires.
only on right turns?? a smaller tire would have resulted in damage if the rear is a locking type rearend. IF it is a locking rear end I would change the oil, noting the color and how it looks. replace it and add some "slip additive"............. IF its not a locking type axle, maybe a spider gear problem, but thats inside the housing, not out by the wheel. You may need to take the axle out and inspect the axle/ bearing.
CV joints yes look at the rubber boots for damage. You can get a replacement boot but if you do remove all the old grease to remove any dirt that is cousing your problem.
Check sway bar. On some models as suspension sags, sway bar outer ends will contact the body, leaving a mark or dent just above the end, causing a bang over bumps. Only way to correct this is to change springs or add a spring lift.
