I was just wondering if having a smaller diameter steering wheel would help in auto-x racing. I figure, with the smaller diameter you can make quicker steering inputs. The only downside would be it being a little harder to turn the wheel. Is this thinking correct, and would it actually be benefitial? Thanks

P.S. Does anyone know off hand what the 91 stock steering wheel diameter is?

 

I believe 15"

and aftermarket GT grants are like 13.5"

i have a gt in mine, i tad bit harder to turn, but still anyone could turn it.

its worth the try i guess.

 

You could always go out and buy some cheapo $20 wheel to try out and if you like it buy something a little nicer.

... or you could just stick with the $20 wheel and save yourself another $100 or so

 

Yes it helps. I got my 13" wheel off Ebay for cheap. Worth every penny.

 

Well, with auto-x worry about seat-time and becoming a better driver first. The best mod you can do, is the driver.

But a nice aftermarket wheel does feel a little nicer. I don't know that it will actualy cut your lap times.
