[mistaanime]

aiite..i have a 91 240sx fastback..and i was wonderin what would you guys perfer cuz im planin on getting a steerin wheel soon..but i juss dunno if i should get a wider or a smaller one..i know my car understeers so..i think a smaller one would help..but not too sure bout that..thanx

[CoasTek240]

get a round one...no seriously though... get something a lil bigger than stock and round....dont get one of those wider egg looking wheels, they suck... and dont get one with 'NOS' buttons! lol those lil red buttons can be ran to your horn or several other things other than nitrous, but they still look like ass. i picked up a nice looking Nardi, similar looking to this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4518543499&category=31283#ebayphotohosting) its a lil different. its all black.
I believe its 370mm, im not sure though
good luck

steering wheel should be around as wide as your shoulders so go from there~

......understeering or oversteering has nothing to do with the steering wheel diameter unless you're somehow incapable of simply turning the wheel further, in which case you shouldn't be driving in the first place.

It depends on how you like the stock steering wheel. If you want more steering effort, get a smaller wheel or vice versa. I like stock size personally.

i like smaller (330mm) cuz my hands would hit my legs when i'd go down low. it's a bit harder to turn cuz of less leverage and it blocks the upper part of the gauges. other than that i like it.

thats because you suck at driving

Nardi Gara3, 350mm (I measured), sits beautifully in the corner of my room, with my downpipe and a buncha other car shit

[Wei240]

yeah, 350mm is generally a good size for the 240...

yeah seriously...understeer is definately not an effect of a large steering wheel...


how do you get your 240 to understeer? do you mean that it plows when you yank the wheel at an overly high speed for your shitty tires?

Just bought a 280mm and i like it so far :D Its all personal preference

What size is the stock wheel? I've never been able to find that information, I'd guess a little more than 350 mm?

i went smaller with 350 and got it to come a little closer to me because my knee hits the steering wheel a lot.
