Default New guy with a steering wheel/column question - 2015 BDR

Just bought a "new-to-me" 2015 Backdraft with the supercharged 5.0 Coyote engine. As you might expect, it's completely insane. LOL... I've always wanted one and was knee-deep in my car search but in CA registration can be an issue so I had all but written off finding exactly what I wanted. As fate would have it, exactly what I wanted popped up on CL 10 minutes from my house... ALREADY SB-100 registered. What were the chances? It was meant to be. I digress...

So I've searched around and don't seem to see the question/answer anywhere. I feel like the steering wheel (Sparco in my case) is a bit too high as it obstructs my view a bit (I'm 5'10). At first, I thought that maybe my car was built for a tall guy but from the pics I see of other cars, all of them seem to be like this. I can certainly raise the seat a little to effectively "lower" the wheel but it also occurs to me that the distance between the turn signal arm and the back of the wheel is a bit excessive. IMHO, moving the wheel towards the dash would be a great improvement for both drivability and visibility as it would drop the wheel closer to the dash. Has anyone done this? If so, is there a proven steering wheel boss that would eliminate that distance by about 2.5 inches? I also suppose that I could buy a "flatter" wheel to further aid the issue... Thoughts?

Thanks in advance. I look forward to learning a lot about my car here!
