[I am hazarding a few guesses only because I recently experienced the same exact issue. I am not an expert of any sort.] 4-5mm is significant. And the brakes are still lining up nice with the rim? Do they look relatively centered or are they favoring the left side? If they are adjusted to compensate for the wheel, it is probably an issue with the dish as noted, which you will have already figured out with Bill's method. Otherwise, might be an out of whack chainstay or some other alignment issue, though if it isn't cockeyed in there, I would think maybe not the dropouts. Does the wheel come in and out easily? Whatever it is, chances are it has been there for a while if the brakes are dead center and it was the wider tires that alerted you. How long have you had the bike and are you the original owner? Ever crash with it?
