Smaller diameter helmet for taller driver?

I'm 6'5 and the 997 is the first 911 I fit in. I'm taking mine to DE, but I haven't gotten a helmet yet.

Are there some helmets that are more low profile (smaller diameter)?

Thanks
DRP

I'm in the same boat. Ended up with a racing seat. Was the only way I'd fit sadly.

Atr911 what seat did you get?

Drspeed I am 6'5 and use a Bell Sport M5. Different brands of helmets fit head shapes differently so find a place to try them on

Sparco evo 3. It took alot of work to fit it in the 997 not to mention a custom floor mount.

Super comfy though.

Yep I remember now....
what did you mod the seat or the car to get the seat to fit?
Who's seat bracket did you use?

I fit perfectly in the Evo3 as well but GMG told me the seat will not go into a 997 with stock interior and that I'd have to gut the car to make it fit. Obviously you've proven them wrong.
