So... I saw someone mentioned a week or so ago that their new steering wheel was 1 inch deeper than stock(moved grip face toward driver)... This has got me thinking...

Is there a spacer that can be added behind the stock wheel to push it towards the driver? I put "steering wheel spacer"in Google but all the options look like they are for racing wheels

Put on the RCE Yellows and the 15mm spacers in front and 20mm spacers in the back. Still on stock wheels and tires and this just makes the car looks so much better. More aggressive stance without scraping, wheels are flush, and the fender gap is smaller and the same width all the way around.
Go get it aligned!

You could just get a different one 86worx has a very nice selection of wheels that take the airbag or ones for quick disconnect
Well the steering wheel on the MT is much better that the one on the AT!

@ichitaka05 think you and the other mods can start enforcing classified rule #3? The first page suspension forum is taken up almost entirely by 3 people...
