1986 FC Steering Wheel Size

Hello!

I recently bought my first car, a mostly stock, low mileage, almost perfect 1986 FC RX-7! I’ve been looking to change the look and thought The steering wheel would be a good place to start.

Does anyone know the size of the stock 1986 steering wheel? (Photo Below) I want to use that as a reference point when choosing an aftermarket steering wheel. I couldn’t find it in the FC FAQ section, so I’m asking here.

I appreciate any responses, and if you have suggestions for sizes or depth, please comment them as well! I am 5’10 if that helps give a reference for depth of the wheel and length of hub.

Thank you!

it is 380mm and its offset up a couple mm (i forget how much, more than one, less than 5?)

i personally prefer 360mm, although its hard to find, 350 is good too. i find 320mm too small, and it starts to block the gauges, but its a personal thing.

its funny the 86-87 wheel is ugly, but it sure is comfortable

Thanks for the help! I’ll probably choose a 360mm too, it seems like the best size. Yea the stock wheel is extremely comfortable and I didn’t expect that when I bought the car haha!
