Will a larger step up ring and hood stop the vignetting?

My Olympus 21/3.5 arrived the other day and I put a 49-55 step up ring and a 55mm wide angle hood from Heavystar on it, but it vignettes quite badly at the corners. The lens has a 92 degree angle of view. Surprisingly, the vignetting is not as bad if I just use a 49mm hood on it.

There are 49-58 and 49-62 rings on Ebay - would either of these and the appropriate hood work without any vignetting or is there a better (and relatively cheap) option.
