To the OP, What kind of shoes are you trying to drive in? Reason I ask is when i drive in my Evisu's or Addidas' I find the pedals to be fine, But when i drive in my boots or other workout sneakes it's a pain in the ****.

As far as the seat comfort it's not too bad for me but it is all about personal preference. I did notcie that the seat will break in for sure for you body size. Yesterday I sat on the passenger side to clean out my glove box from crazy gas reciepts and it is noticably "tighter" than the driver's side is. You should be fine. GL with the purchase!
yea i think the previous owner of my car was pretty big cus my p seat feels alot tigther.OT 5'10" 180lbs, best squat to date 250lbs.(i know i have alot of work to do )

I'm not THAT big, i have a Linebacker body, for any football guys out there....

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 am a big guy. I played hockey for 7 years, and have big legs from it. I am also 6 foot but i weigh 260. And I seem to fit fine.

But you could always get the regular lancer seats installed.

I'm 6'2 and 200 (Air Force body) and don't have a problem. I did get sparco evo seats(which are smaller) and I fit very comfortably in them. I thought the SSL recaros were too stiff and made my *** go numb while driving.

the foot part's actually an advantage for you..you don't have to heel/toe when shifting coz your whole foot can step on both .

I wear size 12 skater shoes a lot and can position my foot on the edge of the brak and use the right part of my shoe to blip the throttle. Works awesome.

I am also a big kid, 5'11" about 250 lbs pretty big boned but somewhat fat. I find the evo incredibly comfortable.

i am 6'2" 310lbs. i am just big in all aspects. the seats fit. but barely. they do push into my shoulders a little much witch causes me to shift around a bit to get comfortable, and after a long time in them my upper legs or outer butt gets a little sore. but it doesn't stop me from driving constantly and i never complained.
my friend that has a 9 and he says that my seats are tighter than his. hmmmm i want some 9 seats. anyone wanna trade.

I'm 6'2" 295lbs.. However my previous Evo 9 my seats were wrinkling on the *** bolsters, but my new 9MR had different Recaro's installed at the dealer due to theft and they fit like a glove!! No abnormal wear due to my size, and they are plenty wide too! They even have an adjustable lumbar support which is very nice..
