Default Height/Steering Wheel Problem

Hello, I need some help with the steering wheel. I am 6'1 so my legs are touching the steering wheel when sit in it. It's a 2000 civic ex. I was wondering what I could do to raise the steering wheel. I was thinking about getting a momo hub with quick release and maybe it would raise it a little more, but would it stick out too much? What could i do?





Thanks alot!

I don't really want a smaller wheel lol. I was just hoping maybe with a longer hub it would be higher?

I think your best option is to find a lower seat. I dont think its a good idea to use a non airbag wheel on the street. Especially without harnesses.
