Who know's what the stock steering wheel is in MM...

Just what the title says I am trying to decide on a new steering wheel for the 7 but I wanted something a little smaller in diameter but they are all listed in mm sizing. I'm not sure if I should go with a 350mm or a 330mm wheel so if anyone has any thoughts on this matter that would be greatly appreciated. Also I found a ton of wheels but not sure where to get a matching hub. So if anyone has any info on where I can one of those that would be great as well.

Thanks in advance!

Measured mine last week using diameter and circumference...both ways got 380mm. I also want a 350mm. Just don't have the funding now, because I just went single and now I realize i need new rear suspension bushings.

Stock size is 380 mm. I've measured stock and my aftermarket.

I have a 340 mm and want smaller. I wouldn't mind 320 mm actually. This is even with full manual steering.

I recommend 320 or 330 mm, 350 mm is still too large.

Thanks guys for all the help. One more for ya... if I went with a 350 that's 30mm less so how much less would that be in inches I will be loosing from each side. The only reason I ask is that I am 6'3" and the stock one is right up against my thighs so I wouldn't mind having a little more leg room.

Thanks...

To convert mm to in you just divide the inches by 25.4, so the total amount smaller is 1.18" or .59" off each side. I'm also about 6'2" or 6'3" and think that may be enough for me, but not sure.

That's a 340 mm with extension.

I highly recommend a smaller wheel if you're 6' plus, Ernie. 350 mm is just not small enough. You get better bio-mechanics with a smaller wheel and proper seating position.

ErnieT,

You might also look into the D-Cut (or whatever they are called) wheels:



That would give your legs a little extra room.
