You know... It all kind of depends on you. I am pushing 40, 6' tall and 190 lbs. Fourthgen seats fit me PERFECTLY. I would recommend you find a set somewhere and sit in them for an hour or so. If you arent squirming to get comfortable, they will be fine.

I'd look to see if you can fit seats that wide into your car first

There are a few posts regarding these seats. They appear to fit, but even with the vehicle specific bracket that they offer, it needs a bit of modification to get it to sit low..... also ls1tech forums show these installed in 4th gens....

I've heard that the brackets aren't really worth ordering because once you've made the modifications you'll almost better off to design something from scratch.
