Steering wheel size

[CincinnatiKid]

I'm sure this has been beat to death but I can't find anything in the search so, what size (in mm) is best for a tall person, 6' 3", that allows leg room and still be able to see the dash clearly? Also is there a writeup somewhere for swapping airbag steering wheels? TIA

I like my 350mm Monte Carlo. Looks perfect in an e30. IMO. I'm not 6'3" so I cant tell u about visibility, but it should be straight.

I am 6' and the wheel in this link is a 365mm that I have on my car. I had a MOMO that was 350mm and was really to small IMHO. With the MOMO I could not see the top parts of my gauges. The one I have now is borderline to small but it works. I would assume anything that is 365mm to 380mm you would be fine. Anything larger and it will look strange, anything smaller you will not like. In the link below it will take you to a link you should find everything you need to know on a airbag car steering wheel swap.

This post shows you where the torx screws are located to remove the airbag from the wheel

Just make sure before go disconnecting the airbag that you disconnect the battery to keep the airbag from possibly blowing up in your face... Also you will need to pull out the white plastic pin that has a spring around it in the lower left area of the column.

I'm 6"3" and fit in mine just fine with the large M-Tech1 wheel. I did have a problem with feet room and had to cut the knee bolster above the petals.

I think i saw that, but do you have a pic of it?

I like 350mm but that might be a little small for you. I think you'd be good with 365mm, its a strange size so you wont find much selection but nardi makes a few in 365. Check ebay

No I do not have a picture of that sorry. I will see if I can find it on realoem.com though and post a link for it.

It is number 11 in the picture but it does not list what it is in the listing below the diagram.
