I took this to mean the spindle spacers that go on the spindle between the fork legs and the wheel bearings because having them the wrong way around (left to right) would offset the wheel and cause it to rub. I don't have a standard front end on mine so can't check but from memory I didn't think the SV has them, doesn't it just have the speedo drive on the left side and a pinch bolt on the bottom of the right leg?

The only solutions I can offer is that either the spindle bolt isn't tight which is allowing the wheel to move to the right, you haven't seated the speedo drive properly which will be holding the wheel away from the left fork leg, or as Bibio suggested you didn't bounce the front before tightening the pinch bolt (after you tightened the spindle) but if that is the case it would only be rubbing on the right side.
