newb question: Kilo WT chain line

I have a Kilo WT, the stock Alex Sub rear rim broke and I replaced it with an Alex G6000, but now my chain line is way off. I can't put the chain ring (stock Sugino 48T) on the inside of the crank or it will hit the frame, and the axle is not adjustable within the hub (unless there is something I don't know). Am I better off getting a new bottom bracket or having the wheel redished? (I've never trued a wheel before) Do I have any other options?

I've read the Sheldon Brown chain line page a few times and spent an hour or so reading on here, but I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around it and finding a solution. I've only been riding a year and a half (in my 30s) so I am quite new to this, but I am mechanically inclined and love to buy tools.

Thanks,
Vinny
