They all look about the same, some actually appear to have larger gaps, but that is not putting them in the cylinder, just comparing on top of one another.
The ring I have was 0.145 wide (OD - ID). For fun I computed that the ring in the picture would have to be 0.060" larger then it currently is to have the ring-gap go to zero. So that would be a 0.175 wide ring (this would not include wear of the bore or a .007 gap).
