Once you've proved it's the frame and not the wheel the fix is just to file the top of one of the dropouts a bit to rotate the wheel. You only need to remove a very small amount of material as the wheel multiplies the error by about 5.
I haven't tried that, though I did re- dish it. I don't understand how the wheel could cause this issue. I will try it nonetheless. Thanks
Edit: Same problem turned around. I guess I'll work on levelling it. And get out the file.
