    Best steering wheel size?

    So I feel that the stock steering wheel is way to big.
    Was curious what people around here mainly run. I mainly autocross and feel like a smaller steering wheel will make it a little easier but I am afraid of going too small.

    I found that a 350mm steering wheel (Momo Competition) was the smallest I could use. A 330mm cut off my view to the top of the speedometer and tachometer. I'm 5'8" and that was with a race seat mounted much lower than the OE seat. Your driving position and height will be a factor in picking a smaller steering wheel.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      A smaller wheel will increase steering effort. It's all up up to you and what works for you.

                      Depends on version, 385mm normally seen in US or 370mm.

                          Stock wheel is 390mm right? Mtech seems like a waste of money, I doubt you could notice a 5mm difference in wheel size.

                            size

                            ..very subjective.....

                            but 350 to 370 is a good range..for many.




                            330???......... that is small....but to each his own.
                            I love sitting down and just driving!

                              Stock is 385mm. Mtech wheels are stock on lots of US spec cars.
