Podium shifter reach for larger wheels

I'm using a Podium hub with a 350mm rally wheel. It's a flat wheel, so in theory the reach to the shifter levers would be fine. However, looking at the photo of the Porsche wheel and shifters, I think the shifters would be impossible to reach with a 350mm wheel. Can the shifters be adjusted in this way? Based on photos I think you could put a spacer between the hub and the shifter mounts?

    This is a 360mm I hold on top of a Sparco mod-383 330mm steering wheel and it is no problem to reach the shifters for me, so if you dont have very short fingers then it should be no problem I think

    The APM cannot be adjusted other than placing the paddles on the front or back end of the shaft. if you are a handy DIYer you might be able to create an extension.

    Thanks, that is very helpful. To be honest, to me it looks like the shifters are quite far and my hands are not that big.

    I'm not much of a DIY guy either, but I think a spacer could be 3d-printed to give 1-2cm extra reach. It would be nice to have a Fanatec solution to this.
