Another option is to install a ceiling hook where you want the fixture and use a swag chain.
A third option is to shop for offset chandeliers, or use a large ceiling medallion to hide the wires and cover the hole, especially if you are only offsetting the chandelier 12 inches. Some chandeliers come with large ceiling plates, where you can offset the chandelier without moving the junction box.

Three good suggestions. I did option 1 a few years back. The cover becomes un-noticeable after a short time.
