Basically, I zeroed out some effects that in IMO are overdone, especially the damping.
These are for 270° (optional 540°) rotation. If you use anything other, change the proper line at the bottom in the config.
First you'll need to open with notepad the file vehicleset_pc_custom_wheel.xml located in Need for Speed SHIFT\ControllerDefaults\PC. It would be a good idea to make a back up of the original file, though.
The section describing the FFB behavior is right below the line </InputsList>. This are my current settings:

On Shift2, make sure to load the custom wheel profile and make the axis assignments necessary, set the FFB force slider to your desired level and save the changes with the right shift key.
