is there a way to mount a racing wheel on a desk that is this thick????

[RTX 3070 I7 11800h]

read the title I want to get a g920 so I was wandering if it would fit with a desk like this

It will fit but I would recommend you get one that actually doesn't have a drawer on the bottom of like, the main point of the drawer where your chair and pedals will go (depending on the mount of the g902, you could be ok but again it's what I would recommend)

I suspect you'd need to remove the large draw in the middle, where your legs will go under. 

 

Of course, if you are willing or able, I suspect you can fix it to the top with screws or something so it's actually fixed onto the desk surface rather than clamping between the top and underside...if you see what I mean?

 

That will allow you to fix the wheel to the desk and then you can slide forward and place your pedals in a comfortable position. 

 

It's all about where you can sit comfortably, where your pedals will go etc...

 

Is the desk yours, so you can do whatever it takes to make it work?

(even if it means cutting, screwing stuff to it etc...)

The pedals are gonna be in a comfortable location and the shifter is going near my mouse mat so this is what Ill do (tell me if it works) the draw is pretty stable and if you pull up on it it has alot of weight in it and its about 10 pounds of force to pull it up so I dont think it will pull it up (and makes my face red everytime I do lol) anyways I will remove this cynosa chroma v2 and put it on my bed (dont worry I have a laptop and I will be fine without a external keyboard) I will mount it on the drawer 

right there and then I will put the pedals at the bottom because this desk is not very high, the shifter near my mouse. will this work?

 

 

 

EDIT: oh yea will the shifter work on the desk that thick too?

Does the shifter also use a horizontal clamp, like the steering wheel? Because I'd say that won't be too comfortable.

Normally in a car, your shifter is a lot lower, more around hip level, while your steering wheels is normally quite a bit above that.

 

I wouldn't mount a steering wheel or shifter to that desk if you can't remove the drawer. With the drawer, they wouldn't be able to affix securely.

I wont get the shifter but will the g920 wheels fit?

 

 

EDIT: the drawer is 12cm from top to bottom (including the table)

I think mounting it to the drawer is a really bad idea.  The runners the drawer slides on will be a weak point, and I suspect you will pop the drawer off of its rails on a regular basis, if not actually breaking them. Do you have even basic carpentry skills? You could make a bracket that clamps to the desk surface that you can mount the wheel on to push it out past the drawer, and then bolt the wheel to that. Use some clamps to secure your bracket to the desk and it would be pretty solid.

ok, I will find a way to avoid it

If you wanted a really janky DIY solution which I used for ages, you could use a scrap plank of wood clamped onto the table using G-Clamps with a little bit overhanging, then clamp the wheel to that.
