Default Corbeau A4 wide version

I talked to a guy at corbeau today and he said that the A4's in the wide version will not fit in the c5. And that the normal A4's barely fit. I thought I have seen that someone here had the wide version.

Im a 36-38 waist, surely dont want a fixed back seat unless I have no other choices but would get the wide version if it's possible that it will fit without and problems.

I believe the issue is with the stock seatbelt mechanisn.
The A4 is one of the few aftermarket seats that fit while retaining the stock seatbelts. The standard A4 is 18.5" wide...the A4 wide version is 20"...but there are even wider Corbeau seats (TRS @ 20.5") that have already been installed in C5's...but not with the stock belts.

Send a PM to YELLOHHH, he has the TRS seats in his car, he can give you the straight scoop.

They have told me the TRS will fit but the wide A4 will not fit. Which may explain why YELLOHHH had luck.

i had a chance to sit in the A4 and they are not bad at all so that's what i'm going with i'm 6'2 220 and i felt fine in the car. it's not plush leather but it's not bad at all. could use a little softening for the tush but thats about it.
