Will a 350mm steering wheel block my view to my instrument cluster?

That's a really subjective question!
It depends a huge amount upon your height, seats, seating position, all of which can influence how good a view of the instruments you get even with a stock wheel. Generally speaking reducing the diameter of the wheel inherently means you will lose some visibility of the dash instruments, it's a question of what is most important to you.
Because of my height I have always had a hard time seeing the speedo so I mounted a speedmeter right on top of the steering column so I can see it. It looks as ricey as sh*t but it makes driving so much more comfortable for me.

I had a 350mm OMP wheel in my FWD and it didn't block any of the dials - but as said, it depends on your height and seat/steering wheel positions...

Thanks for the picture for reference. I'm 6ft too so that gives me a good idea.

Quoting r4pt0x:

350mm Sparco L505 here. No obstruction. I'm 5'12" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif
Previously, i had a smaller diameter steering wheel. It most definitely obstructed the cluster a bit.
