Rear MTB tyre rubbing against frame.

I need some assistance please. Rear tyre is just about rubbing against frame on brake side. I have found that when doing some rougher terrain, the wheel axle seems to "relocate" slightly, causing rubbing of tyre against frame. Although properly tightened and settled into frame location. The tyre size is 29x2.25. The gap difference between chain side and brake side is clearly visible, and is about 2mm from frame on brake side. What can be done to bring the rim more to the center - re-align with spokes?

Hi, your wheel is buckled, either a damaged spoke or spoke tension is incorrect. LBS will be able to pull straight.

Maybe the drive side might need a chain tensioner depending on the age of the frame. This will keep the wheel from slipping away from its tighter position and help keep the axle from falling out of alignment. DM if you don’t come right.
