  • Check the axle spacers: Make sure that the spacers on the axle are symmetrical and that the wheel is centered between them. If one spacer is thicker than the other, it can cause the wheel to sit off-center.
You're jumping around a bit. By definition a dished wheel means different spacing on the right and left. And, so ordinarily also different spacers. Done to compensate for the hub design and the cassette or freewheel.

Just make sure the wheel is properly dished.
