Kosmo - 18/6/07 at 12:52 PM

What size steering wheels are most people using ?

Also, will a quick release bose pass SVA ?

Cheers, Kosmo.

I think most use s stock Sierra wheel for SVA, then change post-SVA to smaller/quick release.

320mm (ish) seems popular, some have failed on the standard wheel as it's too big for the tester to get sat properly.

Quick release can pass, but only if 1. there is still a collapsible element in the column and 2. if it can't be detached while the car is in motion i.e. if it needs a key to remove it's fine, pull button will fail. Having said that I'm waiting till post SVA to avoid tester randomness on subtle issues like those, think hassle reduction exercise.

320mm

Tried a 300mm and found it too small

11" (280mm) which is OK on my setup - 1.4 K-series - only a bit heavy if you try to turn while going at less than about 5mph

Mine is about 330mm and feels OK. Im looking for a suede 300mm at the mo. Dont like the 10" etc wheels. 12" is about the smallest id like to go.

looks awesome though
