Heh, heh. Given the diabolical shape of most sprocket teeth the larger rollers riding a bit further out might actually work better than the standard.
I've had a few very long lived sprocket / chain assemblies through my hands with teeth slightly shorter than standard having a profile some what involute in shape instead of the usual sharp point. The only factory sprocket of this shape I've ever seen is the engine shaft sprocket on a BSA DB32 / 34 Gold Stars. The most impressive were the pair of final drive sprockets on a T150V Trident I owned which had clearly been made from scratch. Those things eat final drive sprockets and chains, especially my model which was the officially never made conical brake version with the large centre port head 9,000 rpm capable engine, normal 10,000 miles till the sprockets were hooked beyond use and the chain completely worn out. Not on mine. 60,000 miles. Three chains and not a trace of hook on the sprockets. I'm pretty sure it had been warmed over a bit too. Comparing the trajectory of a worn chain entering and leaving normal, matching worn sprockets with that of a worn chain on the Trident made it obvious why. Standard sprockets clearly can't cope with the pitch error of a worn chain. The rollers snag as they enter and leave the tooth gap obviously causing the familiar hook wear. On the Trident even a totally shagged Renold GP chain ran on and off smoothly and quietly with a clean trajectory.
Some fairly pointed enquiries to chain and sprocket makers as to why this shape wasn't the norm got nowhere save for a couple of embarrassed "more than my jobs worth" coughs.
