Hi Guys I wish to change the steering wheel as the whopping 16" wheel doesnt give much room for me to get my legs under (If I had rake adjustment would solve this...but I dont) so considering putting a smaller wheel on. Does anyone have any experience with fitting a 15" or even 14" wheel on? Thanks Jim

if its a 300tdi then a classic mini wheel is a straight swap but i have never tried this.

had a 14" momo on my 110 and made a big difference to getting in and out (and stopped me banging my elbow on the doors )

I have 14" offset wheel on the 200 and it's fine, and that's with an average power steering pump and 12.5" Tyres.

Cheers
