What size steering wheels are best.
I have a 15” makes it hard to get in and out and runs on legs.
Think 13” he good but may make steering too heavy ?

14” offset will give you 15”at the top and 13” at the bottom or the steering wheel. This gives good leverage and easier access.According to Moto Lita diameter is approximate but close too stated size. Hope this is helpful

My "13 inch" Motolita wheel has nominal diameter of 121/4 inches. With standard electric PAS on my Roadster this leaves steering far from heavy.

B That is a good solution. I had one on my +8 and it was easily the best option.

In other words, this one: https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/steering-wheels/offset-wood-rim-wheel/. If you have PAS, you could easily do with 13". If not and you do not fancy the offset look, 14" might be a solution, but you gain only one inch compared to the one you have. With a dished wheel you gain a little more, so there might not be such a large difference between a flat offset and a dished 14". I believe 13" on a 4/4 or +4 would be ok, on a +8 or a Roadster far too heavy without PAS. By the way, this thread would be better under the "Classic Morgans" section, you would get more answers. Perhaps more confusion.....

I had the off centre moto lita in cars without PAS. It worked fine.

I have a 13" dished Mota Lita on my 2016 Plus 4 GDI. No PAS and I don't notice the steering being too heavy. It does make ingress/egress easier ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/08/15/IMG_1590.jpg)

I fitted a quick release boss to my 15" steering wheel, it make getting in and out much easier, especially with the hood up, but won't help if the wheel is touching your legs whilst driving.
