Will Corbeau Wide A4's fit in my 91Z?

I am trying to decide between the Standard TRS seats which I know I fit in and they fit in the car and the Wide A4 seats. The A4's are one and a half inches wider at the top and 1 inch wider in the middle than the TRS.

this is the trs with its dimensions:



and this is the A4's:




Anyone know for sure? I am worried the top and middle might not only interfer with the door but the S&W 8 point roll bar I just ordered.

Any input is much apreciated.

If my Recaro sport seats fit (they do), those should fit no problem...

I have the CR-1 Wide Version in my GTA. I had to modify the mounting bracket but they fit and are very comfortable.

Hello!
I need your advice, I'd like to buy a pair of new seats for my 89 Firebird. I like the Corbeau CR1, but I don't know which size would be better, the normal or the wide version?
Thanks
(excuse me for my bad english, I live in Europe )

I had the wide CR-1 in my GTA. They fit fine. I think it just depends on what you want, how big or small you are etc. Great seats, I would opt for leather next time around.

It's not too bad if your a big fella. I was 240 at the time. Then I lost 40lbs. At 200 lbs they didnt feel all that great to me. I would have liked more support.
