I'm 6'3 200lbs and i use a 330mm detachable wheel its just easier to get in the car with the wheel off cuz then ur knees dont hit the steering wheel lol plus mine is JDM so the seat rail is a few inches than the USDM rails so that might help too.

Personally I do not think the airbag in my 16 yr old car is very "safe". I shutter at the though of that thing going off... Smacking my head on the wheel is a much better option, but maybe this is just me.

this thread should be closed. there is already a 10+ page discussion on this along with picts.

simple as this: if your a fatass or just a big guy you can do 1 of 2 things..get new seats or new steering wheel/column.

I'm 6" 330 lbs. Haven't had too much trouble with fitment into my car. Biggest problem I've had is fitting in it with a helmet on. I've taken it on roadtrips, driving for 4+ hours without any problem. I will add i can take left turns like nobody's business too, heh. Oh, I am worried about getting into a minor fender bender on driver side, because if i can't open my door, they will have to take the jaws of life extract me.
