Default Replace tire on rear

I replace my rear tire on my 05 Ultra. Now it seems the the tire is sitting more to the left (if looking from the rear to the front). I went by the book and even double check the spacers. Any one have an idea what could have happen?

I have an 02 and also putting on a new tire. I think you have the spacers mixed up. Don't what else it could be. Is the belt straight? Let us know what the problem finally is.

Double check spacers with the book and the belt tracks straight on the pulley. I have no idea what could happen

Did you remove the brake disc or pulley for tire replacement?

Are you simply looking at it more closely than you have before?! I can't think of anything that can be mixed up to cause a problem, especially if your brake is working OK.

Brakes working fine, had a buddy say something about it and i looked at it myself. Could hardly side my hand between the tire and fender on the left hand side. Like i said spacers are in the right spot according to the book.
