Stock steering wheel size ?

Does anyone know from the top of their head what is the diameter of the stock steering wheel of FD ?

I have problems heel-toeing with the stock wheel and I'm getting a smaller Momo wheel. Just don't know if I should get 300, 320 or 350mm (11,8" ; 12,6" ; 13,8'').
I have 300mm in my other car and it works fine but its fwd and I don't need to apply opposite lock often.
I do take FD on the track occasionally though and I think doing a opposite lock with smaller wheel for more then say 200degrees is a bit harder then with a big larger diameter wheel. Or maybe I'm wrong, dunno...

Any opinions ?

Also, another advantage is that you can replace your steering wheel legally, even if it doesn't have an airbag, as long as it is the same diameter...

I believe it's about 360mm. That's pretty much a standard stock steering wheel size.

320mm is about as small as you want to go. That already starts blocking your view of the instrument cluster.

I always thought it was about the same size as my 350mm momo steering wheel, huh. I guess I need to take an exact measurement.
