    Your preferred steering wheel diameter

    Hey guys,

    I am planning on replacing the airbag steering wheel in my E30. I currently have a MOMO hub adapter and am shopping steering wheels. I was thinking of swapping the Monte Carlo 320mm wheel from my MR2 onto the E30 and buying a new wheel for the MR2, but I'm worried the 320 will feel too small in the E30. What size do you guys prefer for your cars; 320, 330, 350, 360+? I want to make sure it doesn't obstruct the view of the gauges and whatnot. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

    I think my mtech 2 is 385. I like it. Had a 350 momo and it blocked some gauges. Nice wheel, but it wore on me.

      370mm mtech 2 wheel is perfect IMO.

          360-370mm Have a small tech II wheel in two of my cars and like it very much. I have a 365mm Momo that I like too but that has a hub extension.

                          If the car has stock seats, a 370mm wheel is about as small as you can go without obscuring the turn signal/high beam/top of the gauges unless the driver is very short. For someone of average height and when race seats are used mounted as low as possible (no sliders) a 330mm wheel works.
                          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                              I've had 360-370mm wheels and all fit perfect without blocking any gauges. 350mm was a bit small, but did give the car a more go-cart type feel.
