Steering Wheel Size

[DanEC]

You should look at your current wheel clearance to the door and cowl wrap around which depending on your wheel placement can be pretty tight - and a bigger wheel could make it tighter. I would agree that you would probably notice some difference in steering effort - not sure how much you can tell. Basically you are going from a 7-1/2 inch leverage to 8 inch which is about a 6 to 7% advantage. More winding of the wheel in turns though.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll take a closer look at the available clearances for the steering wheel on my car.

Dan,
My primary interest in this is because of the steering effort required when trying to maneuver the car into tight spaces with the car moving VERY slowly (which I have to do every time I put it back into my garage). Since I'm generally steering with two hands and assume the force I'm exerting on the steering wheel is probably about equal with each hand (one exerting force up and the other exerting force down), wouldn't that equate to a 12-14% advantage ? Or am I not looking at this correctly ?
