The widest you can go, and I mean tight fit, is about 18.5". Front to back, becomes a problem as the transmission tunnel widens towards the front, giving you about 19" or so.
The seats you linked will not fit.
C4, C5, C6, Fiero, Miata, Celica, and SOME after market seats are good choices.

After market seats for C3

Some after market seats? I've been looking, but can't seem to find anything 19" wide and 20" deep. I was looking on Andy's Auto, and others, and although they say compatible with Fiero, they say incompatible with Corvette. When you look at the dimensions, it gives 21" wide x 23" deep x 35" high. If Fiero and Vette are interchangeable, then what gives here.
....especially when quoting someone that...let's just say is no longer posting on cf.

I may have found some that will work, 20" wide at front of seat, 18" lower seat back, 22" upper seat back, and 22" deep. Already have a small steering wheel, so I think I'll be able to squeeze in there. If not it is a T-Top, I'll crawl in there Nascar style.
