I'm a 36" waist and I can get in them with no problems although they are a snug fit. My Mrs can also get in them and she is perhaps a tad wider in the beam than me .

Yep my mate is a big lad If he ever gets knighted he would be Sir Cumference as the late late Harry Secomb used to say. There is only 450mm between the rails and it just does not look that big . I suppose we can grease him up and push him in hopeing he doesnt pop out going over any speed bumps

He looks well fitted in to me--the bigger test of course is whether he can get out again

If these are the ones you mean they fit and I'm using the mx5 chassis so the space is more limited than the sierra version
