Perhaps noticeable, but hardly significant.
You'll notice the difference in a one inch smaller or larger steering wheel. A smaller one will make the steering feel more responsive and a bit heavier. A larger one will take less effort but will respond slower.

On my car the wheel is very close to the dash which overhangs the gauges. A larger wheel would not fit.

I have fitted a smaller wheel to go with my power steering and help me out on the autocross course.
