How far is it offset? There is a spacer which will move the wheel over 1-2mm to help with wider than normal tires. The standard spacer is 9.2mm while the larger one is 10.7mm. If installed correctly, the spacer can be easily removed from the inner hub. Be aware, that when moving the tire over, the brake shoes will run over a different area of the hub. If a significant lip has built up, that lip can cut into the shoes. Not a big deal, generally, but something to be aware of.

Maybe someone tweaked the fender getting a 120/90 out of there?
