I'm sorry, but what? how on earth does the width of the turret ring play into either the height or overall width of the tank?
If the top of the hull is level with the top of the tracks then the turret ring must fit between the track. But if the top of the hull is higher than the tracks, like the Sherman, then the turret ring can be wider than the width between the tracks. Those loading gauge pictures show this quite nicely, how the turret sits on the hull and must be narrower than the width of the hull between the tracks.
