Cheat a off centre fireplace?

Hi, I have a wooden surround and bought a hearth and a reclaimed cast iron insert for the living room. However, was told that I have an off centre chimney. At present the chimney hole is small and is central, however if i need to knock a bit out i can only do it from the left which will cause it to be off centre. I would like to keep it as central as possible as it is the living room. It will be a non working fireplace and just decorative. I was told I could cheat it and push the cast iron forward into the wood surround instead of having it flushed to the chimney. Is that correct? Can anyone please advise me on what I can do. Thanks.
