this is the right question.

If the steering wheel isn't close enough add a spacer.

If the pedals are to far away custom bracket to move the seat forward or a set of sliders.

Then have someone weld some extensions to the pedals. DO you have any problems with the stock seats?

Adapt the stock seat rails to the race seat. They you should be able to fit just fine.
