Have you checked if your wheel is in the dropouts correctly? Or if the tire has seated properly around the whole rim?

More information would be a help...

it could be on the drop out, make sure both the axel's points touch the dropout.

maybe its the wheel is bent?

measure a spoke on one side of the wheel, and then measure the opposite spoke, on the other side of the wheel, if they are diferent, get the wheel trued, although it is suposed to kinda be like because of the gear things...

or is it the front wheel?
