Steering wheel angle vs force to turn the wheel

Considering changing the mount for my steering wheel since I have made the wheel smaller- down to 11 inch.-
I have my wheel at 8 deg off of vertical which would be great for power steering but my wife may find it a tad heavy using arm strong steering. Plus I have a fairly heavy mill in it as well. Any idea if its worth while to angle the wheel a bit more so that as your turning the wheel your also pulling it down towards yourself. as opposed tu just turning it nearly straight down.

Thanks
