Who laced the wheel?
As an example the rear on some FLs requires you build in some offset, which proves it can be done on purpose or by mistake

You will get a lot of 'opinions' on this.
Harley has always had, front and rear wheel "offset from center" on different models.

For BEST (IME) handling and balance. match stock specs.

Have a 2020 Softail with excellent handling and balance.

FRONT WHEEL IS OFFSET FROM CENTER!
Wouldn't change a thing!

Put a spacer between the hub and the rotor. Match the axle spacers to the amount of spacer you use. What brand wheel did you buy?
