Default A4 wide sans belts?

Will the Corbeau A4 Wide seats fit if the stock seat belts are removed? I've searched all over the forum and can't seem to find the answer.

Or is there an alternative for a 6ft/40"waist guy?

I had great luck with the corbeau evolution x seats. They don't have the anti-submarine slot for a harness but they seem to be the widest seat available for the c5. I am 6'3" 245 pounds 38" waist and they are all day comfortable imo. I recently rode in a 17 z06 with the competition seats at a track day and preferred the evolution x seats in my c5.

Evo X looks like a good seat but I need the sub slot and reclining. Am I just too fat for race seats? That would suck.

I would reach out to a vendor like TPS and see if sub belt still works with that seat as its not that deep of a seat. When I looked around this was the widest option for the c5 due to the door panel but I wanted street belts. I recline option is not that big of a deal, if needed the seat can be shimmed with washers to tilt it. If you remove the door panel and glass if this is racecar situation then other seats probably work.

I finally found this: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/autocrossing-and-roadracing/3014950-what-race-seats-fit-in-a-c5-z06.html#post1580219862

It mentions LG1, which looks perfect for my needs. Can anyone else confirm these fit without modifying the interior (other than removing the stock belts)?

I'm going to remove the passenger seat and belt and take measurements. I think I can get the LG1 to fit this way. That's my plan anyway.
