By 'off center' do you mean the center wheels further outboard/inboard or do you mean the center wheels further forward/back?

EricH is exactly right but I should point out that when he states 'dead center' that really means the CG being directly over the lowered wheels (assuming the lowered wheels are not in the center, 'forward/back'). The closer (forward/back) to your lowered wheels and the higher the CG is the more it will affect the rocking action of the robot.
