Aftermarket Steering Wheel Change

Hey everyone,

anybody know of any good aftermarket steering wheel hubs for a 2010 Lancer GTS? Currently looking to swap out my OEM wheel because I'm very tall and my knees constantly hit the wheel when I'm driving or getting in/out of the car. Preferably looking for a longer hub than the NRG short hub, as the further I extend the wheel, the more clearance my knees have. If anybody with an aftermarket steering wheel setup could help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe consider brackets to lower the seat

Yeah already tried putting in some aftermarket NRG seats to lower my position but I still have clearance issues cause im 6'5" and the world is built for average height people so im stuck with having to try changing the wheel as well to get a truly comfortable experience.

My GTA seats were the JDM 7 narrow base. I removed the covers and used 2 hammers
to spread the bolster rods 60mm at the front and 50mm at the rear.
Totally different seats, plus 10mm extra sponge added. I can spread my legs now.
I don't know if your seats are too narrow.

its not about the seats being too narrow, its just that my legs hit the actual steering wheel whenever trying to do any advanced pedal movements like rev match downshift. Heel toe downshifting is completely out of the question haha. I would like to be able to do these things cause i actually take my car to the track to race, and the struggle of trying to fight against the way my body sits in the car becomes an issue that I run into often when im focused on trying to beat times.
