6' 3.5" here with a 36"ish inseam.

I've put the seat down and back as far as it will go. The steering wheel is up as far as it will go. My car's an AT. Seat back is 1-2 clicks back from vertical.

When I do my daily driving I'm not having any contact issues with the steering wheel, dash, or ceiling. I'd estimate that I have about 1-2" of clearance between the top of my head and the head liner.

On my track day I had some serious issues with the helmet thrown into the mix. I had to click my seat back another click or two and move it up some on the rails. Also pulled the steering wheel out and down some. Even with that I was still pretty wedged into the car with both the top and rear of the helmet in constant contact with the roof and the headrest.

I am also hoping to find a lower profile seat rail set up that will give me the additional 1-2' of clearance I estimate I need so that I won't have to deviate from my "normal" driving position.
