18 way seats - no elbow room?

18 way seats - no elbow room?
Hi All, I love the 18-ways in my Turbo but even at the widest seat bolster setting, I keep hitting my elbows on the bolsters when turning the wheel. Does anyone else have the same issue?

It's not safe to sit that close to the steering wheel as you leave no room for the seat restraints to work and you'll be far too close to the airbag.
Or you have amazingly long forearms!

Sorry, but sivikvtec is correct.
First thing they teach in HPDE.
Wrists should rest on top of wheel.
Bolsters do not fit every body.
The 18-ways have only a half inch of adjustment on each side, but that is enough to fit most.

Husky folks generally don’t favor 18-ways.
I sit quite far back, with full control of the vehicle during spirited non-track driving.
Bolsters at 2/3 (tight) drawn-in position, support and do not obstruct, my elbows when driving.
