There is the idea that a thinner shank makes the center stone look larger. I would go for 2-2.2 for the shank of the e-ring and 2-2.5mm for the wedding band. The shank could have been made with just slightly larger stones than the ones in the halo. The size of the center stone has a lot to do with the total look. If the center stone was 3 cts in a halo, the shank wouldn't look too out of proportion at 2.4mm. But I will tell you, most people here go with around 2mm shanks even for huge stones.
Look at these (shank and halos about the same size):
