Dealer told me all wide glides from 14 to17 are like this.
I see those images; that would annoy the crap out of me. Oh, tell your dealer he's clueless; all Wide Glides, '10 through '17 use the same 60141-06B <primed> fender; only differences are the paint codes. Why would a '14 - '17 suddenly be offset?
No changes to the sliders either; you fender should mount as centered between the sliders as mine is. Have you tried loosening the 4 fender mounting bolts? I've had my fender off multiple times, and each time I put it back I slowly draw the 4 bolts in evenly while I hold the fender to keep the fender aligned with the curvature of the tire and squared up with the sliders.
Note: If you do loosen the 4 fender mounting bolts, they are NOT metric; 1/4" allen and 1/2" nut. Those mounting bolts will be uber-tight and have thread locker on them. Make sure you use a solidly fitting 1/4" allen if you do break them loose to try and re-position the fender.
I'll bounce out to the garage and grab an image of the fender on my '13...
Comparing your images to my front fender, it does look like the fender support arms are not quite right kicking the fender off a bit; we both have the same fender, only difference is paint. That fender should square up...

Reason: 2nd image...
Is it the Fender or is it really the Rim/Tire not being centered (within the forks).
Measure to confirm (see photo below)
If it's the Rim/Tire and you're also happy with the existing brake rotor centering within the caliper, You might be able have yourself or someone move the Rim/Tire over with Spoke "magic" (loosen one side...tighten the other)
The 2007 fatboy's front wheel was deliberately offset from the factory. The 2006 and 2008 fatboys had the front wheel centred. Don't be surprised if it's supposed to be that way. Ask another dealer
I believe it is factory offset. I'm not home right now but I will measure when I get home .I wanted to hear from other 2016 FXDWG owners to see if it's the same on their wide glide.
Ok. I took measurements and the front wheel is not centered between forks. From sitting on the motorcycle the wheel is a half inch to the right .looks like maybe for abs .caliper is bolted to letting fork .would have to shim out between rotor and wheel .not sure it's worth the trouble
I ment caliper bolted to the left fork stupid auto correct .
