1971 Corvette changing Steering Wheel
My LS5 has AC , power steering, power brakes , 4 speed. NO tilt wheel .
Would putting on a smaller steering wheel help when getting in and out for an old guy like me.

Yes I believe it would help, and with power steering you shouldn't have any real issue.

I've been trying to find a better looking smaller diameter steering wheel for ages, not many options out there.
I would never put that Chinese made thick plastic wheel on my car, to me it screams cheap and matches nothing else in the interior. But each to their own, it's just my opinion

Many many years ago VBP had steering wheels in their catalog. they had a 4 spoke version that I think was called a Duntov steering wheel. they were the best looking steering wheel I have seen. I wish I would have purchased one.

I really don't know your size, but if your a bigger Man, I think you should be on the lookout for a 13 - 13 1/2 inch wheel.

Steering wheel
Steering wheel . Thought instead of installing a tilt wheel for a 74 yr old guy like me. A 13 inch steering wheel might help.
Do you know of anyone that markets that size of wheel.
