Well I have a bride seat and the stock steering wheel and I'm about 6'2" so finding a comfortable position is hard. I want to get the NRG quick release v2.5, short hub and the nrg deep dish saude wheel.

The wheel is 350mm how does this compare to the oem wheel? I want it to be smaller so I have clearance for my knees.

any help appreciated

..ps need a pinion gear from the diff if anyones got one

If you're that tall, I'd suggest going with a wheel that doesn't have a dish to it at all.

The bigger the dish, the closer it sits towards you.

Well my problem is I kinda like having the wheel a little close, but the way I have to sit right now makes it so my legs are bunched up and it pushes my knees into the wheel.

So I think if I get a quick release, hub, and wheel it will push it out a couple inches and then I can move the seat back further and keep the same distance from the wheel.

Also any sugestions where to buy from for cheapest prices?

I got my mint nardi classic for $150, with the $50 or so horn button. Used.

If you can get one used, get it used. Usually, prices are about the same everywhere though unless someones running a sale.

My OEM wheel measures in at 355mm (s13). Ive heard people state that a slightly smaller (320-330) wheel gives a decent improvement in perceived steering response.
