grant steering wheel question????

I'm going to put a Grant Steering Wheel in my IROC.

Will a 2" spacer fit just right? Or is that too much? Or is it a personal preference?


Thanks

Re: grant steering wheel question????

sorry to get off topic but you could save sooo much $$ by taking the grant wheel back and finding a 89 cavalier(junk yard) wheel like this onehttp://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.v6z24.com/jbodyforum/files/steering_wheel_172.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php%3Ff%3D45%26i%3D107140%26t%3D107140&usg=__fqERgrsYLlMmcvoDkbUgzPozSRM=&h=480&w=640&sz=117&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=nSdNgJm35hyuDM:&tbnh=137&tbnw=183&ei=xbQnTp6nGoy5tweNyN27Cg&prev=/search%3Fq%3D1989%2Bcavalier%2Bsteering%2Bwheel%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1R2ACAW_enUS365%26biw%3D1348%26bih%3D531%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1060&vpy=195&dur=6225&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=62&ty=153&page=1&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0&biw=1348&bih=531

Re: grant steering wheel question????

Which Grant steering wheel and why spacer?

I have a Grant challenger using the Grant GM mounting kit and don't need spacers of any kind.

@ affliction, that's a pretty complicated way to link to this image:

Personally I do not like the racing wheel look for these cars. Doesnt go well with the rest of the interior IMO.

It's personal preference.

I run a Grant carbon fiber wheel with the Grant billet ring adapter and Grant billet horn, all in black.

Works and feels perfect.

I have the satin Grant "Challenger Series" wheel like this, but also really like the one in black. No spacer on mine,just the adaptor.

Re: grant steering wheel question????

I've got the same but satin black and I'm really happy with it. I had to trim a quarter inch off the bowl shaped piece but my car originally had an airbag

Re: grant steering wheel question????

Just the right size ,sets very nice when the wheel is in the down position (driving). feels good in the hand . Evey time someone or yourself are looking in the car usually you see the wheel first. They make a nice impression. For any one that is considering a new steering wheel, here's a link. = http://www.grantproducts.com/product...eering-wheels/
