Seat Options What will Fit
Discussion
Man it sucks being this side of the pond.
All I see is stuff for sale on the Caterham FB for sale page, all those Blatts, track days, meetups, people being human and I'm stuck here dealing with the Orange Ball Sack, Kids Killing Kids the NRA dictating policies, Petrols in trucks and no B roads. wanting this that and the other for my build and stuck trying to subtituite Caterham parts that may or may not fit.
Rant over I am looking to replace the race seats for something a little more forgiving but cannot seem to find anything to fit, anyone know the maximum dimensions for a replacement seat.

As always Thanks you for the suggestions
I ended up ordering one of these to see if it will fit
https://www.walmart.com/ip/American-Racing-AR95-Es...
Not perfect a little narrow (and shiny) but pretty much the only road legal ones I could find in a 13" 4 bolt.
and considering there is not a corner within 100 miles they may work out for trips to the shops

At this point is may just be easiest to find streetable/Track all season tires that will work but that in itself is proving difficult.
Which kinda sucks as my Hoosier slicks kick ass on the track but I really want to be able to drive to Walmart and back
So weighing the pros and Cons of trying to find a streetable/Track All Weather Tire
Pros:
1) Less greif from the wife
2) ......Less grief from the wife
Cons:
1) Very Very Limited choices
2 ) Price
3) Tracks days will get much slower
4) Show what a bad driver I really am
5) Get overtaken a by a Corvette
4) Wife is still talking to me
FYI: Don't know if they are still around but my email to KN Wheels was kicked back as a "mailbox full" error

From the picture of your car you currently have KN Caterham Superlight R wheels, these will be 13" x 8.5" rear and 13" x 6.5" front,
I assume the superlite R rims are no longer available?As I am out of options this side of the pond are there any suggestion on aftermarket rims available in the UK @13x6.5 and 13x8.5?
I would like something other than the generic Caterham 13x6.5 and 13x8.
I am back in Brighton this August and may just buy some and have them shipped to my sisters and figure how to get them home from there
(Anyone selling rims?)
And sorry for the uninformed question what size rubber to I run on the 13x8s or 8.5

Most expensive would be the Mike Barnby (MB) R500 wheels. Typically they are magnesium centres but he could do ali ones. Reckon on £1200 for four I think.
LOL aint gonna happen I have got to go to a 15" rim there is absolutely nothing state side 13" except the Toyos which aren't road legal
