    Hello Buick guys,

    can someone please tell me the correct steering wheel size for a 1970 GS?

    Background info: On my 1970 GS one of the previous owners installed a rather small aftermarket steering wheel - please see attached photos - and now I want to turn back to a more original look. At "The Parts Place" they offer for the GS a 14" steering wheel and also a 15" steering wheel.

    Cheers

    Danny

    16" for 69 and 70. They are not reproduced.

    Jim, just to clarify, were the non-Rallye steering wheels (like the standard wheel) also 16"? or slightly smaller?

    I have never measured a non sport wheel for 69 or 70. My guess is that they are less than 16" in diameter.

    I could be mistaken, and now I'm questioning myself, but I thought the '70 vs. '71 Rim Blow wheel adhered to the different diameters. The "Deluxe" wheel design was changed from '70 to '71. Will have to look @ the "batwing" std. '70 (GS 350)/'71 (GS) wheel.

    Classic Muscle has the best price...
    $135 and free shipping over $150.
    Although TPP claims NOS.
