Has anybody ran across this problem? My 'bird doesn't have tilt steering, so when I want to push the clutch, my leg hits the wheel. The same thing happens with the brake. I'm thinking of getting a Grant that is an inch or two smaller in diameter but I need to know what the size of the stock wheel is so I don't have the same problem. Anybody know?

 

Measure it? The Grants are somewhat smaller in diameter.

I think the grant wheels are 13"

 

You must have some very long legs. My 86 Firebird and my 86 Camaro didn't have tilt, but I never came close to having those sort of problems.

For what it's worth, the firebird had the stock wheel and the camaro had a grant. The grant was cheesy and cheap, but its size was more comfortable.

Another option could be to swap in a tilt column.

 

here is the wheel i am running right now. it is a 13" and with my current guage setup and manual steering box, it is a bit too small and i will be going back to the stock wheel. might sell it if your interested, only has about 100miles on it, VERY clean and comes with everything to install.
