I got a new 15" steering wheel from Santa. The problem is it is replacing a 13" that has a 1" offset. So, now my long legs don't fit in between the steering wheel and the shifter. Does anyone know of a good place to get either a smaller diameter steering wheel that looks similar or a 3"-4" spacer?

Would any of these work?
can't really help w/ details here, but the new one looks very ,very nice. Hope you can find a way to make it work.
Appears to be a motolita wheel. Check on their site for an extended hub.
i had a 15" wheel and traded a guy with a 14" wheel(both Nardis) straight across..on Ebay,. i had the thicker roadster seats Kirk offered.
Here's a perfect fix with lock and all......Just joking......Bruce
maybe call Santa to see about an exchange for right size..
You could also look at the “forever sharp” spacers and adaptors;

, or change the hub all together, try ISP West, also great quality;

They used to sell a 9hole adapter similar to the 6 hole linked above, with a great Porsche like horn ring. I don’t see it in their site now as a stand alone part, only sold as a package with a steering wheel. You can call them to inquire,
A picture of my isp west adapter, 9hole, with ISP horn ring. If you run a search on this site, you will find several dicussions on this topic.
the adapter is about 9cm tall, and wheel pictured is 15”, with a 1” dish. A flat wheel on this adapter with the standard ‘66-‘67 blinker arm leaves about 3” space between the the wheel and blinker arm. A flat wheel about 2” ( a little too tight for my taste). When I used a flat wheel with this adapter, I added 3/4” Forever sharp spacer...
hope this gives you some ideas for possible solutions.
Or try Motolita...from 13”-15”, flat or dished... several stiles
Thanks for the all the good advice
Looks like I am going to return the original steering wheel and get a 14" one from flash power parts that has a 1.75" dish and all also get a 1" extension to be sure.
Special THANKS to Robert M for what I hope is a good solution.
