My next choice would have to be the HL tiger1 track which measures 1.75 which would be wider. But if I clip off the little tab on the one side it would come out at 1.625" so .025" over would probably be close enough.
Here is a scan of the HL 1/16th scale tiger1 track un-altered  Here is a pic of the proposed trimming of the track. The first 3 white lines is one option the second 3 lines is another option.  What do you think? It's about as close as I'm going to get

how are you going to replicate the destinctive Horstman type suspension / road wheel and bogey setup ? i reckon the track will look ok you could spray them black (get the metal ones though) and then lightly sand the tread bars so the metal comes through, depending on how yours turns out i might have a go. the link pattern on the HL Panzer 3 is very close but will be too narrow for your scale.
also what else would be cool would be to make the hull out of metal
