Steering Wheel Size...help!

[DB4G63]

Having purchased my already kitted out GTZ 4 weeks ago.
I am finding my steering wheel ( which is an aftermarket momo ) to be far too small, especially for driving around Dunedin.
Its only 300mm in diameter, which makes parallel parking and narrow streets a bit of a pain. It makes the car feel very heavy to control

Most other steering wheels Ive looked at are about 330mm or 350mm which in comparison seem a lot bigger ( I did some measuring )

I just wanted to know what size do you guys use? and what size is your standard wheel size. I like the aftermarket wheel, something bigger would suit me just fine.
Also boss kits are universal fit arent they?

Thank you

I had a 300mm Momo wheel on my GTZ for a couple of weeks (was borrowed), I didnt find it too bad, guess comes down to personal preference.

Ive got a 320mm wheen now, the difference is noticeable and I think is the right size; not too big or small. Aftermarket Momo wheels come in either 300, 320 or 350 usually, but I think the factory one I had in my GTZ before was about 370.

And yes most if not all aftermarket wheels will fit onto your boss kit

yea, you just have to get the right boss kit to fit your car thats all.

I have a 300mm momo on mine, i find it much easier to drive, i think my stock one was about 370mm.

i swapped the 350mm momo in the vr4 for a 300, i hate the light-floaty-remote feel of power steering, so i was stoked that it made the steering require abit more effort.

rather than changing the wheel, maybe try going to the gym?

Sounds probibly about the right size I need.

The problem lies in making small adjustments (such as passing stationary traffic) and making full lock adjustments (ie if your parking or turning ) you cant really use one arm to move the wheel very easily....

I have the boss kit, I was just assuming they are fairly universal.

The previous owner rounded off one of the allan (sp?) key bolts, so Ive got to get a mate to sort that out too.

lol, I use a 400mm at present.
but thats the mini...
in toyotas though aside from standard Ive had 300 and 320mm's
to be honnest, althout it looked cool I didnt like the smaller unit as it was hard when doing driving which required a lot of lock to lock- to small to hold properly imo. Just driving around was fine.
They all had power steering, so were still easy as...

Wouldn't mind knowing how much you'd flick the 300mm one off for...!!!

320mm with a 40mm dish, and a 30mm spacer from the boss kit lol.

and no powersteering, but yeh, no weight over the front = easy peasy to drive.
