PZ IV drive sprockets

I'm building a Nashorn, and the Pz III drive sprockets I have are slightly too big, the track doesn't fit between the sprocket and the fender. Does anyone have a set of the slightly smaller Pz IV sprockets they wouldn't mind sending over?

Yes I could buy new, but if anyone has a set lying around that's just gathering dust, that would be preferable. Plastic spares from a donor vehicle no problem.

What brand panzer III sprockets are you using currently and could a minor shift of the gearboxes outward a mm or 2 make a difference?

With my kit from Alwyn I'm using taigen Panzer III sprockets and all works excellent.

The panzer III sprockets really make it look the part that's why I'm asking if they can still be employed.

If the fender is an issue could you make a metal or styrene front fender and hinge it like I have on my panzer IV ?

Rad built this lower hull and made some hinged front fenders since the asiatam metal lower has the drive sprockets at the correct height. Image
