I just read a regular A4 will fit up to a 34" waist.

Because im a fatty and have a 38-40" waist, will i fit in regular a4's or have to go for the sparetire version.

im working on losing some weight. trying to at least. But even a few months ago, i went from 274 to 234 (gained 20 of that back) i didnt even go down in the waist, Im just a wide load regardless. but im back on a diet again.

will the wide version still fit in a vette?

The standard version almost doesn't fit in a C5-you have to swap the driver and passanger seats so the adjuster doesn't hit the seat belt retractor.

The wide version will not fit from what I have heard.

When you say waist are you talking about your pants size or measured above the bellybutton? My waist (measured above bellybutton) is 34" and the A4 is a little snug but I think I could be bigger and still fit fine. It depends on how wide you are. If all your size in your gut then you should be ok.

I ran a set in my old miata, and I was 6.0ft, 260ish at the time with a 38 inch waist... They were snug, but broke in after a bit and were rather comfy for me I say go sit in a pair before you make any decisions!

210lbs, 6ft, and 38" waist.... feels snug in my A4's but very comfortable. I dont want to gain any weight for sure. I really LOVE these seats and how they hold you in.
