The wheel in my Midget is also a bit too large. I was looking at Grant
steering wheels at Pep Boys. They have a pretty good web site, and I think
contacting them with some measurements might be a good idea. The big problem
in the Midget is the offset of the hub. Whilst your average '60s era Mustang
has a wheel that is 8" deep from rim to nut, that wheel would be behind your
back if you put it in a Midget!
Check out Grant. I found an application chart at
http://www.exoticwooddash.com/grantmakesmodels.htm
and I'm sure there are other sites for them.
