Default what steering wheel setup?????? HELP

Hi all, so im new to the 350 scene, before the 350z i owned a boosted s2000 that was totaled, so im pretty new to the nissan world. Anyways, i have been looking for a steering wheel/quick release setup but im hesitant to buy anything with the fear that my setup will put the steering wheel too close to me. I im looking at the NRG thin hub with version 2.5 QR, as for the steering wheel i want the NARDI 330mm deep corn. i know getting a deep wheel only makes my problem worse, but thats the one i want so... If anyone has this setup or something similar lmk how you like it, how it sits compared to stock, and mabe some pics. i was also thinking about doing a thin hub with the thin QR, but i havent heard any reviews on the thin QR or pics. please help me find my setup lol, thanks

BTW this is the package im looking at but the pics supplied make it look like the steering wheel sits about an inch to two closer to the driver

If you're really concerned about depth, nix the quick release and just bolt it to the hub.

the dished wheel, such as the Deep Corn, coupled with the quick release and hub, is going to position the wheel about 30mm closer to you vs a wheel without a dish to it (further back).

1 solution is to adjust your seating position to suit the new wheel

second option is to just get the short hub and Deep Corn, though again, that may require you to adjust the seating position (closer)

I have never heard of a slim quick release

quick releases come in one size typically..hubs come in standard and short
