steering wheel spacer

I want to slave my steering wheel out 1". I've never actually seen one and am in the market to purchase one. Does anyone recommend a brand?
My reason for asking such a stupid question because it almost looks like some people design their spacers so that I would have to reclock my wheel. I just want to remove my wheel and bolt on the spacer. Add cheap add some of these spacers are, I would not doubt I would have to remove my complete hub and reclock it. Thanks

Why the spacer if you dont need it? Do you have t-rex arms?

At one time i had 2 Fcs one with a steering wheel adapter at about an inch, one without.
Never liked the feel of the wheel closer to me

Funny because i have a CJ7 and my old boss had one too, his original mine again with a aftermerket wheel with adapter- hated the difference as well.

My steering wheel is a little to close to the controls on the dash. Lol, t Rex arms.

I'd use the one listed or an LTB. I have a spacer on my wheel, it is much more comfortable.

personally I think a wheel with more dish might be better, when you have the car for so long any difference like moving the wheel an inch towards you takes time to get used to
