Steering Wheel Size

[Kasey 1977 K10]

Hi everyone. I bought a steering wheel from LMC. I like it but the dish is pretty deep requiring me to push my seat back further than I'd like. They have another one I like even more but it only has a 14" diameter. What are your thoughts and experiences with a 14" steering wheel diameter on a square? Less comfortable to drive/turn? Big enough? Appreciate the feedback.

I had this one in my last truck. It was a Grant Signature Series 14". I had a tilt wheel power steering and 33x12.50's. No issues. The second wheel I had in my '80 3+3. It's when Camaro wheels were plenty. I like that one too. I think that was about 14" also.

I thought those were just for vans with shag carpeting

Thanks! I have a 15" now and just wanted to make sure the 14" isn't going to be too small. I drove a 1972 VW Beetle with a 13" wheel and it was horrible. I'm sure having zero power steering didn't help. I'll give the 14" a try.

That's what she said.

14" is my size... ah mean it's my favorite size for a steering wheel. But I like them flat, little to no dish and for the same reason as the OP.
I like my arms stretched out, no wheel in the gut for me thanks.
Another thing I learned over the years, the heavier the steering wheel the better it feels. A lot of road vibration gets absorbed if the wheel has some mass to it.
