Virgo wheels don't fit 240 front hubs - normal? 200 1992

I have a late RHD 240 wagon that's been shod with 16" Hydra wheels (original ones are 14" Scorpius).

I bought a set of Virgos recently and I tried putting them on today. Now I have discovered that whilst they fit the rear hubs, they don't fit the front hubs because the locating pin is preventing the wheel from mating flush. It even looks as if the Girling calipers are too close to the spokes of the Virgo wheel. These are non ABS brakes.

Is this normal for a late 240? I had thought that Virgos fitted all 240s equally.

FWIW, the offset for the Virgo wheels is 20mm and that of the Hydra is 25mm.

Appreciate any advice here.

Thanks

Lucas
