Axle spacers or offset rear wheel?

Hey gang,

I replaced a 7 speed freewheel with an 8 speed one and had to put an axle spacer on the freewheel side to keep it from rubbing against the dropout and now the wheel is offset to the left a little.

Is it better to have the wheel offset and have the hub properly rest in the dropout on the non-freewheel side, or should I find another spacer to have the wheel centered in the frame?

The offset is looks to be about 3mm.

Thanks!
