See what you can do with a set of washers to space it out,

if this isn't possible and your using wheels that are easily replaced, you can do what I've done and heat the wheels (carefully) with a heat gun until they start to get soft, then use a screwdriver handle or similar to push the centre of the wheel in and make offset, however some kind of jig will need to be fabricobbled together and the wheels will be a bit wonky if you are not accurate.
