I am 6'7", 285lbs. It is no SRT seat, but it is ok for city cruising.

Is there a way to adjust the bolsters OUT on these things? They're tight on my legs/back, my knees have to be pushed together or the bolster presses firmly on my thighs. I'm not fat/over weight, I'm just wider/bulkier...The Recaro's in the CTS-V3 and ATS-V are adjustable in every direction.

6'3" 29x lbs (down from 365 in aug1 and still dropping)
Seats fit great for me. I like to set the seat all the way back and recline as far as possible. Then I ratchet the belt tight and set my driving position. Poor man s harness! |

I'm 5'10" roughly 260 and have problems if the door isn't open all the way and the seats aren't in the exit position. As far as sitting in the seats, snuck as a bug.......... |

There may be a way to put the seat back frame and bottom frame from an SS in the seat which has wider bolsters while keeping the Recaro padding. The Recaro frames could be heated and possibly widened a little too. Neither are easy fixes, but I hate being uncomfortable in a car seat too. |

I had to cancel an order on a Z/28 over the seats. Lost over 100 lbs "keto" and seats fit perfect now.
The ZL1 seats are also a bit wider than the bolsters on the Z/28 too. The way prices went on the Z/28 being over weight was a good thing for once. 5th Gen ZL1 seats are awesome for the big guys.

I called a auto interior company and they suggested pulling padding out on the sides and adding a little to the middle. I might try it and
 let you know. It seems like bending the frame out would work the best though.
