You do you. I'm not a skinny guy and the wheel is comfortably a good foot away from my torso. Just trying to help.I HATE this option more than the ugly DF wheel. It would put the wheel like in my chest. The stock wheel is already far back. Now you're adding an adapter to an adapter to a quick release to a wheel that's more than likely more dished. That would be the worst.
The thick aluminum 'soda can' - seen in @Rttoys pics - can be sectioned and made shorter to move the steering wheel and QR hub adapter further away from you.
Until you have your steering assembly installed and seats in the car, it is hard to judge how much actual distance there is between you and the steering wheel. Highly recommend doing this fit check before thinking about making any drastic modifications.
To add to that post I did end up needing an additional adapter between, It was cheap and I can look up exactly what it is if you need.
