Wow that's seriously off!

Either your chassis was built crooked or possibly cracked, the rear swing arm was built crooked or the tire isn't aligned properly in the swing arm left to right on the axle.

Perhaps check the spacers on both sides of the wheel. If on is wider than the other maybe it was assembled incorrectly aligning the wheel too far to the left.

Another option would be to machine two new spacer with the correct width to move the wheel to the right enough to clear the belt when the belt is running on the center of the pully
