Steering wheel question

Hi there,

I'm a pretty tall guy, so my seat is all the way back and I have the steering wheel telescoped as far as it comes out. However, it doesn't come out as far as I would want it to, and I haven't really found a steering wheel extender that I liked. My idea was to swap out to a steering wheel that was more concave, to give me another inch or two of reach.

Anyone have any ideas or have the same issue I do?

How tall? I'm 6'2" with 34" inseam and though the steering position could be better it's not that bad with how I sit. Steering wheel is all the way telescoped out and about all the way up. Seat is all the way lowered and slightly rear of middle on its slider adjustment range with seat back adjusted to have the steering wheel and shifter in a comfortable position. The seat slid all the way back feels totally wrong to me, pedals are way too far away as are the steering wheel and shifter.
