i'm sure you'll get used to it. i'm 6'4" 212 and i don't even have the seat set all the way back. (probably like 2 or 3 spaces from it though!)

I know of a guy who must weigh at least 400 lbs and he drives an SRT4 with those crazy small "viper inspired seats". You should be able to fit.

If not, I'll trade your for my stock leather mustang GT seats. They are very wide and comfy

People don't understand that two people can be the same weight and height but different dimensions

The vast majority of the populace has small legs. If you're done with Football you should stop doing squats. I stopped like 2 years ago and I can almost fit into jeans! Or you can get new seats. I think Sparco makes some big ones.

Off topic - Good squat! I love it when people put up big squats. If you want to blow up your squat you should try the Smolov Squat Cycle. I was able to do 1RM w/ 510 @ 215lbs after a Smolov Squat training cycle. Hmm, I think I wanna go work out now...

I can relate...I'm 6'1" and 240 big thighs, broad shoulders, and I don't really fit between the bolsters I sort of sit on them. It's not uncomfortable at all it just needs to be 2" wider that's all.

It's not's all that bad at least I can rep 315 squat and bench use to do more, but getting old don't want to hurt anything.

Im about 6 foot 230 pounds....i just have big thighs from football and the pedals...there REALLY close together.
Any bigger seats available out there?
I'm 6'. ~225lbs, 36 waist and I fit just fine. Either your expectations are not on par with reality or you simply need to adjust the seats. FWIW, I've yet to encounter a better driving position. YMMV

Thanks for all the help....
My thighs are HUGE though i mean, if you see me in shorts its not bad at all.
But the size is the size of my sisters 18 year old stomach.

It even seems as if the clutch and brake and gas pedals are too close together -_-
thats when you know you have big thighs

I dont see how thigh's can affect the way your pedals effect your driving. I wear size 14 and man I love them. I dont have to even heal and toe I just put my foot on both pedals and it works perfect. You must be big damn...I'm over 200 and 6'4 and the seats feel big to me
