2x Corbeau Revolution XL in mine, should be fine for a stocky gentleman such as yourself. Get yourself over to Demon Tweeks to try your ass in a few. I think the Cobra Evolution GT was a bit wider than these too.

Corbeau Forza are pretty spacious as a standard size seat, lower end of the price range too :thumb:

They can get shoved if they think I'm going to remove those from my Nova lol Visibility isn't that bad due to the hole in the ears, can still see the blind spot etc.

Used to have the Forzas, they were wide and comfy but just very heavy being steel framed.

Anything GT should be fine, my mum/dad fit in my old imola 2 (GT on pass side as the standard buckets are made for skinny *******s like me :)) and as a range they're not particularly wide seats.
