Default Corbeau A4's

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!

Im a 36 waist at 189 lbs. The seats feel awesome. Anyone bigger than me that rides in my car feels uncomfortable.

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.
