I have a 13" wheel in my Luv drag truck. Seems to fit good.

I had a 14" wheel on mine. Being 6'5'' with the stock wheel and seat I had to turn the wheel to the left when I slid my right leg under it getting in.

I've got a couple of aftermarket Grant GT wheels. I'll have to measure them, but I'm thinking they are 14". I'm leaning more and more towards a stock wheel. Maybe we can swing a trade or something...

PM me and I'll get you pics, if you want. I don't need three of them, no matter which one I end up using. LoL... :ebiggrin

Thanks for the PM, it looks like I can't attach pics in a PM so here they are. Let me know when you're ready to get together. I'm excited to get my hands on a stock wheel, thanks.

Indeed :D. The adapter is what I needed, and through trying to get one I ended up with two. So now I have an extra steering wheel and adapter. LOL....

Figure I'd pass on my good fortune. Thanks again WildLuv. I wish I could decide which wheel I'm going to use. In the meantime someone else can can be getting some use out of my extra one...

No problem, nukeday. I am glad someone will be getting some use out of it.

Looks like Aaron will have a 'new' Grant GT wheel tomorrow, and I'll finally get my hands on a 'super-size' stocker. :ebiggrin

Yes, I've got a stock wheel now. The little tin thing that holds the horn button in is missing a rivet, so with the pad on it sticks up about an inch. It looks pimpin'...lol.. I didn't install it, I just set it on the column, so I'll fix that before it actually goes on the truck. Otherwise the one I have is fine. Thanks. 8)
