Default f4i owners, need some one to look at wheel on there bike

i just put new tires on my 03 f4i now my wheel seems off center in the forks.

the side with the longer spacer (throttle side) seems to have more space between the wheel and the forks on that side. tryin to figure out if this is a problem or not.

its easy to tell by looking at the clearence between the rotor and and fork, or standing over the front looking down its not perfect in the middle of the fender

My F4 looks like it could be off a little, but it's not. FWIW.

The spacers on the F4i can be flipped. Just be sure to clean the gunk off.
