Yes, those compression rings would need some .015" shims above them to fit the wider groove, which would probably be harder to find than the 3/32" original-equipment rings. The advantage would be less drag, which is why we used 1/16" compression ring thickness on the race engines. Of course, they weren't expected to last more than a thousand miles or so between rebuilds.
