The wheel is straight, however the dish isn't completely centered, which was kind of odd but hey, it happened.
I took some thin pieces of wood and cut them down to the exact size between the fork and the rim. I cut the piece with regular cutters (cause the wood is that damn thin) and it fit perfectly in between the fork and rim. The other side however showed the dish was clearly out of alignment by a little bit. When I thought about it, that was why my brakes looked the way they did, because the wheel was more aligned to the one side, therefore pushing the brakes over.
Didn't fix it yet because I have other plans for today, but at least I know what to do next time I have a break.
