OEM Steering wheel spacer?

Has anyone had any luck with a steering wheel spacer that retains the OEM wheel/ horn/ airbags/ etc.? I need to get my wheel out of my knees.

All the Porsche guys have cool adapters, and I found this S2000 one: https://www.spacershop.com/prodotto/...r-honda-s2000/

Thanks in advance.

Here's a cool picture (not mine):

You do know that our Fits have tilt/telescopic steering wheels?
Bought my Fit used..it was almost a year before I discovered it!

No such thing as an OEM style steering wheel spacer.

I've got legs as big around as watermelons and I don't get anywhere near the wheel. Tilting and telescoping wheel FTW.

I am aware. I had a good 80mm of offset in my RX7 and that car fit like a glove. :'(

I put a 8th Gen Civic wheel in my Fit and it's smaller than the stock wheel. I still have my cruise control and air bag.

Did you have to change the clock spring? Plug n play?

Plug and play. I had to swap the cruise control buttons from the Fit wheel to the civic one. I also had to elongate the screw holes that hold the air bag into place.

Send an e-mail to TCS, they have made steering wheel spacers for first gen GD3's ( https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...ners-look.html ). They might make you a one off.
