If your wife doesn't travel at the same time as you then she needs to be in the UK when you enter.
You know that you will have to pass the Life in the UK test (KOL) in the UK before you will be issued with ILR?..another visa fee unfortunately.

As presumably you;ll already have been issued with ILE(KOL required) before you first enter the UK, you might as well wait and enter with your wife and then take the KOL test. You'll still need to apply for ILR from within the UK after you pass the test.
You can't travel ahead of her.
