Rear Wheel Offset

I got my wheels powdercoated. I noticed that my rear wheel is bit off to the left. I checked the alignment, both sides seem to be at the same length to me. I notice it with my custom fender on. Is this offset normal? cuzit looks abit obvious. Makes me wonder how to fit 180 under. I wonder if the axle spacers are incorrect? any help would be great. I am going to take pictures of my bike for the first time ever and show it to u guys.

RE: Rear Wheel Offset

Yes, it is normal.... mine does that too, and so does my dad's Dyna. Now, there's a possibility we've both been lied to, but as far as I know it's OK.

So is mine. I haven't had any problems with it but it drives me crazy seeing it offset even a little bit.

RE: Rear Wheel Offset

well, will custom wheel spacers do the job? If i do that, will the bike ride balance? I heard someone mention something about for the offset reason. I am trying to shove 180's with 18x5.5" wheel in.
