I need to get a new steering wheel that does not hit my knees. I am 6'3" and fit great except that my knees rub fairly hard on the bottom of the wheel when I get my heels in a comfortable heel and toe position. (all the time

I like the simple look (and price) of the Momo Monte Carlo. It comes in a 320mm and 350mm size and I can't decide which to get. I have put wheels in cars before and I know that small diameter changes really change the way the steering feels so I am leary of the 320mm being to small.

Has anyone tried a 320? or have any taller people solved this problem with a 350? I think the 350 might work because I plan on a spacer to get it a bit closer to me as well but I would hate to put it in a still rub.

Thanks,
Alex

I have the same question. Who has also had this problem. What size should I get?

Get the 350mm wheel. A taller person cannot see the tach from 3-6K or the speedo from 55-120 with the smaller wheel. You may have some slight obstruction even with the 350mm at 6'3", but it will be minor. Beats the stocker.

Im opting to get the momo team wheel which is 280mm I think thats 11 or 12 inches

350mm is the biggest momo makes and its smaller than stock. im 6'1" and i cant see the speedo from 80 to 120 and the tach from about 4 to 6k without moving my head. i definitely wouldnt put a 280 on there. also i have no power steering and smaller than 350 would be impossible to turn.
