The steering wheel spacer is a kit that improves the driving position of passenger cars.
Our Audi R8 steering wheel spacer brings the steering wheel closer together to improve the driving position, and is the evolution of the traditional collapsible hub for aftermarket steering wheels.

Until now, to bring the steering wheel of a vehicle that does not have depth adjustment closer, you could only remove the stock steering wheel and replace it with an aftermarket one. The collapsible steering wheel hub was needed to install a goblet steering wheel. Until the 1980s and early 1990s, this was a good solution, but since steering wheels haveairbags and steering wheel controls, having to give up these accessories to bring the steering wheel closer had become an unacceptable compromise. Eventually what happens is that one changes the car to one with an adjustable steering wheel. With the Spacershop steering wheel spacer, this is no longer necessary: you can bring the car’s stock steering wheel closer together and thus keep the airbag and steering wheel controls active.
