What size corbeau FX1 seats

I'm redoing the seats in my '91 Z28. I got the wide FX1's to fit me better but they are too wide for the car. The leg wing is hitting the center console and pushing the adapter sliders toward the outside about an inch.
They say the wide is 24" and reg is 22" Pro is 20" at the front. I don't think I can fit in the pro and would like to go reg.
So the question is- did anyone else put them in if so were they the reg and did they fit?

Update.
I got one Reg FX1 in and installed the driver's side with their bracket. It fits but..
I'm 5' 11" and my head was in the headliner. Way too high. I took the bottom cushion out and I fit a little better.
Another issue is I'm too close, even with the slider all the way back.

So the seats have 4 mounting "legs" that add about 2" to the seat from the bottom of the shell.

If anyone is following, I took the removable cushions out and I could fit better. The passenger side went in tight and the OEM belt does not sit well, might need to put on a seat belt ext to make them work. The drivers side is going to have a 5 pt.

Re: What size corbeau FX1 seats

I hear ya on the height issue, I'm almost 6'4 and with my Corbeau A4 seats and my autox helmet I had to remove the tracks AND cut/reweld the brackets or I was either bumping the Ttop glass or poking my noggin out the top of the car.

Agree the non-wides are very narrow, and I'm a skinny guy. so opposite you I add cushions to drive around and remove em when I'm on the track. Overall they are a huge improvement tho.
