I've just checked now. The wheel has moved even further towards the same chainstay side, where clearance was less previously. So now the rim clearance is something like 8mm and 16mm, or thereabouts. The tyre on that side has also moved closer to the chainstay - to within about 2mm. Strangely, the wheel now also has a sideways play of about 1mm, even though the skewer has been tightened.

Sounds like the frame is out and maybe the wheel was adjusted to compensate a little, or is just also out. Get a piece of string and tie it round one dropout, run it round the headtube and back to the other dropout (same side as the other) look at where the string goes past the seat tube, should be a similar distance both sides.

So when you flip the wheel the right way/wrong way, the gaps between rim/effective tyre clearance is exactly the same or changing by 12mm?
