Even I was struggling with the same issue for quite a while. After giving few tries from many of the answers given here I came up with a solution that worked for me pretty well.

Here is the code while presenting the view controller.

    SomeViewController *sovcObj = [[SomeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SyncOptionsViewController" bundle:nil];
someObj.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet;
someObj.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;
[self presentViewController:someObj animated:YES completion:nil];
someObj.view.superview.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 400, 400); // whatever width and height you want

In the xib (if you are using one) in the 'Simulated Metrics' section select 'Freeform' size.

Apart from this you need to write the below code in your presented view controller (i.e.., SomeViewController in this example)

- (void)viewWillLayoutSubviews{
[super viewWillLayoutSubviews];
self.view.superview.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 400, 400); // whatever width and height you want

}

This code also works for iOS 7 as well
