Default Moving Steering Wheel Closer by 2 Inches

Hi guys,
Has anyone moved their steering wheel closer (kinda like telescopic) to the driver's seat by a few inches? I have relatively short reach, and I always feel like I'm stretching forward to reach the steering wheel. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and what they may have done to correct it. Thanks!

Either move the seat itself forward or lean the seatback forward more.

LOL. Well I end up having to move my seat forward, but then my legs feel kinda cramped, especially with the clutch.

maybe get an aftermarket steering wheel and install a quick release hub along with the adapter hub and i think that would move the steering wheel a couple of inches in the right direction. do some research though to see if its been done and what they did.

Sparco has a wheel with the right adapter as well as a 2" wheel spacer to push the wheel out.

Good luck
