i was wondering if anyone knew exactly what diameter the stock steering wheel is.

i'm bored at work (otherwise i'd measure it myself) and want to order a new aftermarket wheel. the one i'm interested in comes in either 330mm or 350mm. i'm leaning towards the 350mm, but wanted some sort of reference for the stock one.

also, if anyone has input towards their thoughts on 330mm vs 350mm on our cars, please weigh in.

much appreciated!

365mm is stock

still curious about people's preference though

Bigger is better - right?

I hate them when they are too small - I'd stick with a size closer to stock.

If they're too big, it's hard to drive with handcuffs on.

Just sayin'.

ended up getting the 350mm

i read elsewhere it can be harder to see the gauges with a 330mm

the 350mm is already a bit smaller, and it's not like the SVO's stock wheel is huge.

what i like the most is it has a significant dish. i'm more high waisted, so i like the seat to be back a bit far compared to where my arms would comfortably hold a steering wheel.

the hub adapter should bring it closer still.

here's a pick of the wheel i went with:

To me, the stock size is optimum.
