I'm not sure of any company that manufactures extra wide seats, you may have to go custom from Recarro, I would start calling arround.
But from a health stand point I would shed some weight if I were you. Just think, your car will actually go faster.
Good luck..... :yesnod:

Ok seriously now, I looked into aftermarket seats and the only ones I could find are the Sparco seats. They are not for large drivers... Another company was making some but do not have the seats to market yet...

Ignore the children!
If you're talking about a worn spot on the leather, that's a common problem. :cheers:

Why not take the passenger seat out and make it a bench seat in the front. It will be like you are watching a little league game.

4'9 and 310 lbs... that makes you round. Anyways, the side bolsters on earlier C5s were made of leather that damaged easly. Some time in either 99 or 00 GM started using vinyl on the sides instead of leather for better wear.
