Default G8 Seats

Thinking about the possibility of using some G8 seats in my build of my 65 Chevelle. I like the GTO seats, but the rears are too narrow and only have 2 seats, not the middle one for the third butt.

Anyone have the measurements of the rear seats?

Anyone use these seats before?

Any feedback on if they are comfortable but supportive, or too comfy and not enough bolstering?

Thanks,
Dan

G8 seats don't tilt forward for access to rear seats on a 2 door.

Very good point. But would the back seat even be sized right to fit in the back of a 65?

I know this isn't a 65, but they do look good in this guys 69:
