When I measured mine, it was 380 mm outer diameter.

Does anyone know the diameter of the stock steering wheel?? I want to get a Sparco wheel, but i dont know if its any smaller than stock.

Yes, 380mm.

IMHO, ITR w/ P/S would feel the best w/ 320mm diametered Steering wheel. If you take off the P/S, go w/ 350mm. (There's even 300mm steering wheel, but they are way too small!!)

Im thinking of a 330 mm sparco wheel. I am 6' 5" and my left knee slightly rubs when i have my foot on the clutch, do you think the 330 mm would help much? I am also thinking of getting del Sol seats since they are a bit lower. Any other suggestions?

It will not help, trust me. Because the steering wheel with an aftermarket hub will bring the steering wheel further away from you. Only if you have an extension to make the new steering wheel the same distance as the stock, or even closer to you, your new setup will have the same leg room as before.

Matt - here's the website w/ longer hub-extension for MOMO & Sparco steering wheels:
http://smartcamber.com/ProdCat/Drive...20Comforts.htm

They are very reputable and all their stuff is used in real race cars, AFAIK. I was gonna get the removable hub, but decided against it for the time being (airbag issues). Hope this helps.

hehe... found this on the site...
