No as that one small part of the steering wheel is wider than the rest due to the trim. You could pull the trim off when doing the install but there are three retaining clips behind there. I guess you could poke and drill holes through the WheelSkins leather at those clip locations.
I’ve been looking at wheelskins too. I’d have to figure something out for the bottom of the wheel, where the trim gets thicker. The gap in the stitching will drive me nuts.
After looking at videos of the trim removal on factory leather wheels it looks like Ford cut and glued the leather to go around that area. There is no stitching or lacing in that area.
You got my interest and here's a picture from a video. Seems you could still stitch it and possibly make holes in the leather where the trim clips in. No?
This really is the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger. Is it just too wide to do a "fake lace" like you do around the smaller trim pieces?

I think one could make it work by pulling the trim off. Honestly, (and I'm pretty particular about my truck) the way is is now doesn't bother my too much. As mention, the Wheelskins does have an awesome feel to it. Much better than the OEM. I considered and looked into doing the OEM wheel but it just felt cheap and knew it won't last. My 2002 F350's leather wore out...you think Ford is using better leather today????
