calipers off centre

Just a thought, but is the front wheel (and/or spacers) fitted they right way round? It might not look it, but the front wheel is asymmetric about its centre line.
I’ve very nearly on a few occasions fitted a front tyre in the wrong direction because of this. I’ve now drawn arrows in marker pen on the disc carriers and a painted a red spot on the LH spacer so I don’t have the same trouble in the future.

Hi I have just checked mine and the brake pad carrier is very close to the inside edge of the disc on the right hand side of the bike when sat on it. I was very careful not to put the wheel on the wrong way round when i changed tyres. To double check the wheel spacer on the RH side when sat on the bike is longer than the one on the LH side Correct? ie the gap between the hub and the fork leg is greater on this side?
