Tall people and the steering wheel... replacement options?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Bit of an odd one, I am absolutely loving the car but the steering wheel and height/positioning of the seat mean whenever I make sharp turns or want to rotate the wheel fully I will inevitably come in contact with my legs - I'm 6'3 and while it's not a major issue it has got me thinking of anyone else thats tall and has driven one, did you change your wheel? are there other recommendations? :) Thank you!

Probably easier to change to seat bracket to an extra low one rather than the steering wheel. 

 

I'm quite small though so no idea what any of that's like, you can lend me a few inches if you want (not down there... we're all good) :lol:

I have a bucket seat on a set of fixed side brackets bolted directly to the floor to get the seat as low as possible, then a 60mm steering wheel spacer and that perfect for me at 6'5 and still have more than enough head room for a helmet

I'm 6'4, I don't have the problem of banging my knees, but with the seat fully back the steering wheel feels too far away, and ideally would extend in reach by 2-3 inches.  Has anyone come across a mod to change the reach?  Spacer or something.  I did have a scan of threads but couldn't see anything, apologies if this has been discussed before ad infinitum.
