Just bought some wheels from this guy at Wheel411.com. He sells some seats also that may help. It was by far the most comfortable seat I ever sat in. He is a tall guy too. Name is Stephen. Very nice guy. Seats are not cheap but if your spending the money to reupholster it may be worth your while. Give him a call. He may be able to help you out. If nothing else he is pleasant to talk to. Ships anywhere. Noticed you are in MS. He is in Tupelo. Check out his Facebook page too. Pics for days...

For me it's that my pedals are too far away, seats (TMI buckets) are full forward, and I have a smaller grant wheel and tilt column, but the whole seat needs to move forward 2 more inches. I'm 5-9 190. I've looked around for some kind of way to move the whole seat bracket forward, but I may have too fab something myself.

Ididit via squarebody syndicate sells a shorter column. Additionally, there are a few shops across the country that will shorten a stock column.

All your pedals or just gas? Empire fabrication sells a gas pedal relocation that moves it an inch closer to the driver so that the pedals are more in line. I think I paid around $45

I know of people who have used S10 columns to gain clearance. I’ve got one and a squarebody column on the shelf. Will try to remember to get them out and do a side by side comparison
