Do you know the material of which the ring, and the hole, are made?

Is this what you are looking for?
Cast iron has a coefficient of thermal expansion of around 10.5x10-6 m/m/K
To fit a 715 diameter ring into a 684 diameter hole, you need a shrinkage strain of about 4.3%.
This would need a temperature drop of around 4000 K (or a temperature rise in the hole of around the same amount, assuming it is also cast iron).
Are you sure your parameters are correct?
