I am assuming from your previous history that your wife is on a spouse visa? She can apply ILR on SET(M) when she completes 60 months minus 28 days from first date of entry in UK. As long she is eligible and meets all the requirements, you do not have to wait till current visa expiry.
Personal opinion only, not to be mistaken for legal advice. Please DO NOT PM me for immigration advice. Love for All, Hatred for None.

Most often immigration applications fee skyrockets in April, so to avail the older cheaper fee she can even apply without both of these tests and supply these later provided while doing so her qualifying period (60 months minus 28 days) would have been completed.
The opinion expressed as above is neither a professional advice nor contesting/competing to other member's opinion/advice.

The fee won't increase any further for 2020/21, so should be ok on that front.

My advice is based on personal research/experience, so pls check relevant UKVI sources.
