I would think easily. I had one of those in a Miata as a passenger seat, they are extremely narrow as they have no wings for the shoulders. The base is only as wide as the size ordered. I should mention they are not very comfortable (thus the passenger seat) on long sustained high speed turns.

They will fit, you will need to make or buy brackets, but they will surely fit.

they should fit unless they are a super size set over 18' or 19". Left one looks bigger to me. Even 19 may fit. How much as they are fairly cheap to begin with?

Biggest problem with that seat design may be getting into and out of the car with the steering wheel in place. I think the road race seat isn't as deep on the sides.
