Bucket seat fitting help

So I’ve been playing with the idea of putting in some bucket seats. My concern is regarding the seat size. What are the dimensions for a proper fitted seat. The only option I’m looking into is they must be reclining. I don’t want to buy a set of bucket seats and not have them fit. I’ve seen different posts about aftermarket seats but nothing really about sizing issues. By the way anyone ever put in some braum elite series seats?

They seem to be a quality seat for the money!

Don't know if there are any differences between the years or styles, but my OEM '05 heated leathers are 23" deep and 21" wide at the widest point in the bolsters.

How this helps.

Awesome thank you. Width wise the braum seats should fit.

Yup, they look almost exact.
Good luck, if I didn't like my seat heat so well, I'd look into those as well, they may be my favorite looking aftermarket seat.

Here in Michigan heated seats are amazing. But I’ll go with looks this time around. Just waiting for the seat mounts to be in stock so I can order everything at once!

Hey did you get those seats installed? Any reviews? I'm considering them for my R56. Wondering about the build quality and stability of the seat.
