Mine also sits to one side but it does clear the tire well. I haven't loosened mine and used all the adjustment slot on the bracket to move it over, so it could be closer to center than it is. Once it's installed it isn't really easy to adjust. Did you check with Powerbronze to make sure it isn't a hugger for some other model or not? I didn't look on the website to see if they even made one for any other models or not.
