The wheels naturally sit forward in the well. Relax, I don't think you did any damage. Especially if you were only in 1st gear. You have to be in at least 3rd to do some damage!
My brother once drove my NADA over two concrete filled steel poles, buried two feet deep (in more concrete) and a no parking sign.
Both poles were destroyed. The left front horn bent down 1" and the long tie rod broke. Not a scratch on the bodywork. He was unharmed. The Rover drove home, with only one front steering tire.
He must have been going 25 - 30mph and didn't calculate the "huge" turning radius. He hasn't driven it since, and hasn't asked to.
The no parking sign hangs in my room to this day.
