Being 6'1", the stock wheel doesn't leave me much room to shift/steer, so I'm considering a smaller steering wheel... I know that I'll probably lose sight of portions of the gauges (I can't see parts of them now), I'm just trying to figure out how much smaller to go (which will be partially driven by styles and availability).

Stock is 380mm, and most of the after-market ones are 350mm; but, I've also found some at 320mm, 300mm, and 280mm. I recognize that the smaller you go, the more effort that will be required to steer...

Thoughts/Suggestions? How small do I need to go to get the shifting/steering room I need? Thanks!

350 is what you want. i'm 6'2'' and it gives you a nice ammount of leg room and plenty of arm work when you're going slow. thats just over an inch smaller than stock. a lot of guys like the momo prototipo wheel for period correctness,
