Spacershop 50mm Steering Wheel Extender

[Panici]

Has anyone tried out the Spacershop 50mm steering wheel extender?

I've been waiting for something like this for years.
Had something similar in my orange E36 and it really helped to uncramp the legs.

It's pretty spendy especially with shipping and import to Canada.

Nope.

But I made something a little like that for the E30 race car, and you're right, having the wheel closer is a lot nicer...
I also lowered it a bit, too.

I ordered one, we will see how it feels.

Regarding dropping the wheel, did you make a spacer up?
How much can I get away with lowering before joints bind up?

I haven't used one like that but I have quick disconnects on a couple cars that has the same effect...you'll probably like it depending on how your upper body is built. The reach for the turn signal and wiper stock gets a little weird but you get used to it...

What I recall doing (shit, was it really 15 years ago???)
was making a couple of tabs of 1/8" strap iron, drilling holes
about an inch apart, and bolting them in. I might have made
them a little S- shaped, I seem to recall, so that they didn't bind.
That lowered the wheel an inch, and there have been no
problems with binding...

fwiw,
