    Does momo make a hub that fits a airbag car?

    Just installed my new wheel with hub and it sticks out crazy far, like more than the mtech 1 that I had on there originally. Does anybody know???

    Thanks.

    The E30 Momo hub fits airbag and non-airbag cars. Sounds like you did something wrong?!

        Like the spline is the right diameter and pattern but the hub itself is doesnt cover the gap between the wheel and the column.

                Either you have your spacers/washers installed incorrectly or you have the wrong part.

                The E30 Momo hub 100% fits all years, I've had a few.

                  This may be stupid, but have you put the key in and released the steering column lock? I've personally put a momo hub on a airbag column and had no issue.

                    yup done that, I took another look at it and bought another hub still won't go on completely. I have no idea why. When I bought the car it came with an mtech1 wheel and the PO had placed two spacers about an inch in length on the spindle. I tried putting it on with and with out these spacers and it sat at the same distance away from the column both times.

                    I'm pretty confused over here.

                          More pictures dude, take off the hub and show us the bare steering column top.
                          I've never had any issues, with MOMO hubs either, that is just strange..

                            I took some pics, came out kinda shitty. I'll try and get some with a camera later.

                              spacers are on the wrong side? when installing a wheel on an airbag car the spacers go on the outside right behind the nut/washer to take up the extra space.
