Default 2016 heritage rear wheel offset

Any of you guys with new Heritages notice the rear wheel being offset? Just checking before I take it to the shop.

Offset to the left? If you look the primary is also offset to the left. I have been told the wheel is offset to help with balance.

This may be too late, but...

I would think the 2013 1.38" - 1.41" (disc brake side aka "primary bearing" side) referenced below would be the same, but I would confirm

Btw, this also illustrates the offset change to Softail Rear wheels (happened in 2003)

No. Wheel is offset to the right as looking from the rear of the bike.

Rear wheels are offset away from the Belt ... Referring to the wheel itself (the hub and rim are on different center-lines) not to the spacing within the bike.
