Steering Wheels - dished or not dished?

I've ordered this steering wheel and boss from ebay, will they give me the same steering wheel height as the standard wheel or should I have bought a dished wheel? Thanks in advance.

That's very similar to ours. 17" not dished. I have to say I find it a very comfortable height - great when cruising. I thought the question might have been 15" or 17" diameter.

Ok....15” or 17”? I stuck with 17” as I seem to have a bit more play when driving since getting new tyres fitted (guessing just a characteristic of different tyres) so worked on the principle that a 15” would introduce more movement

I think your logic is backwards! A larger steering wheel will make any play feel worse. That said however, a larger steering wheel will make it easier to steer as it works as a longer lever.

I see your point! What do most people go for then or is it a contentious question?

I have the same as what you’ve ordered, the 17” version complete with boss etc. It’s sits at a great height and has a real nice feel to it. You’ll need a deep socket to get it nice and tight [emoji106]
