If both the frame and rear wheel are built properly, then it is possible to align the wheel with the frame such that the chainring and cog are in parallel planes. If the rear wheel is turned out of plane, then the bike will handle wonky as if it is constantly trying to turn. The chain will also be noisier, and more likely to derail.
