Will these fit a c5?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400403285219
Looking for temporary cheap alternative to my ripped stockers. (I know they're terrible seats) Just looking to find if they will fit. It says they are 21 inches wide. I can do fab work to adapt them to stock brackets, thats not an issue.
Thanks!

My guess is they won't fit well. unless you are short, they won't slide back far enough. The gas tank is right behind the seats. The "hole" or "area" or "pocket" for a C5 seat is relatively small and C5 seats are designed for that "hole". Take one of your seats out and see what I mean. Unless the seller offers a money back guarantee that they will fit a C5, I recommend that you don't buy them.

That **** sticks out way too far on the side. You would have to cut out the interior trim piece directly behind the seat so it could be adjusted. I had to cut mine and my Sparco's don't even have such a large **** like your ebay picture.

It may cost you a bit more, but you know the stock seats fit just fine.

doubt it. that's a rip off of the integra type r optional recaros. they are based on the SRD which is a full width seat
see of any evo 8 recaros are on craigslist for $400. those you can adapt and they absolutely destroy the GM stock seats, and corbeaus for that matter.

They look like pretty nice seats. They will most likely fit if you convert over to C6 seatbelts as it will remove the large seatbelt roll from the bottom. You can check out my thread where I installed viper seats to give you an idea.http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...erior-ect.html
