If the shoulder bolsters are too narrow for you, I have seen posts where people just bend them (the wire frame) out without too much effort.

Man, you sure you wouldn't feel more comfortable in a truck?

Take it from one fat man to another, just lose the weight.

I'm 6'1" and was 272lbs at the start of the year. I'm now down to 239lbs. My ass fits the seat better and I feel like I have more leg room.

Just keep on with the weight loss and tough it out soon you won't need to get it redone
