If Kevin would move his arm, you would see that the 3 o'clock position of the tire is much closer to the opening of the fender than the 9 o'clock position.

I printed Kevin's picture and placed a plastic drafting square across the top of the bed and dropping down through the center between the two rivets. The line ended up about 1 1/2 inches to the rear of the center of the axle.
