Doesn't matter what size just go down to one of these C8 public viewing at your nearest Chevy dealer and try sitting in one to see if you fit. I assume you would want to start off with the GT1 seat and adjust the seat height and also the steering wheel adjustment. Good Luck and hope most people that are big will try the fit test before ordering one.

Most manufacturers design for 5th to 95th percentile. If you are outside that you are iffy on the smaller cars.

Thats morbidly obese... like it will kill him. Id honestly recommend he not try to make things fit him but rather take the c8 money and use it to make his body fit things. Could save his life.

I am 5’10” and 330 lbs and have a 2016 Z06 with comp seats that I daily drive 50 minutes on twisty roads to work every day. People are saying the C8 is a little more flexible in seat position than the C7 but really he’ll need to try one out before he commits. Ignore the banal remarks here, what these smart ***** fail to understand is its a lot easier to get here than it is to get back. I’m sure your buddy like me has tried many times!

Honestly the first thing I thought when I saw the display of all three seats was those aren't going to fit a lot of larger folks. Even the base seat has fairly big bolsters that don't appear would fit a bigger person. Losing weight is a very difficult thing to do, there are SO many food options today and most not good (for you), plus the temptation from what others are eating, commercials, etc. It takes the deepest of commitment and drive to get there, plus you can only eat so much grilled chicken.

you should try, but it should be a tight non comfortable fit for you. Good luck.

Your friend should be considering an Eldorado or equivalent.
