shezman,
I doubt there will be a better advice on seat settings than how you personally feel when driving...I know I am constantly struggling in my seat and keep changing my posture and seat settings every so often

Another round of ICE
One way to set up proper distance is to stretch your arms forward, as if reaching for the windshield....move the seat fore and aft until the 10 and 2 o'clock positions on the steering wheel are at the part of your wrist about where your watch would be. Then slightly bend your arm to bring your hands back to the rim. That is your optimal distance for holding the steering wheel. Up, down, and tilt can all work around that.
You may notice, in stark contrast, (and it seems disproportionately female), some who sit too close, hold the top of the rim, and then drape their forearms down the face of the wheel. This has two problems...poor leverage control of the wheel, and much too close to the airbag. 10" is a good minimum distance from the airbag hub face to your chest wall.
