I'm not sure wider seats would even fit. But as nikeboy said, racing seats will be much worse. How long have you had the car? Maybe put up with it for a while and it will probably soften up.

if the seats are jabing you in the side's it sounds like you need to have the foam redone. it's possible to have a broken frame that might need repaired. personally I've redone my seat's by a local auto shop. he rebilt and padded the seat and it look's stock but it fell's like a racing seat with thick side ballstors. the seat was built for me and I couldn't like it more. just my two sense though. I'm also a bigger as well, well wider I sould say and it's perfect for me.

Redo them and have them shaped/padded to fit you.
