Telescopic Hubs for stock steering wheels...

Not sure it's the right section, but it's specific to 2nd gens for sure so...

Here's my situation, when I adjust my seat to get comfortable with my legs and I incline it to my taste, I can barely touch the steering wheel. So I either have to get my legs really near the steering wheel or to have myself siting really straight (at 90 degrees, wich gives me some incomfort; plus I almost touch the roof).

So does any of you know of a way to get the steering wheel closer to me? I don't really feel like buying an aftermarket wheel.

Thanks guys!

you can grab a few big washers from the hardware store and throw them behing the wheel, but you've only got something like 8-10mm to play with. i've got a momo wheel in my fd with a 2" spacer. makes it much more comfortable to drive.

also if you have a quick release hub on a aftermarket wheel it will push the wheel out a couple inches.

Mmm, so I guess my best bet will be the aftermarket wheel Do you have any suggestion of a wheel that doesn't look like too much the classic Sparco or Momo? I try to keep everything low profile and stock look.

Thanks.
