Default Wheel tubs 98 Tahoe

Hello
Just picked up a 98 Tahoe lowered 4/6 with 22s. The truck is mini tubbed. Stock rear seat
doesn’t fit in between the tubs
I have a another seat that fits ( think it’s a 3rd row from a suburban ) but doesnt line up bracket wise.

I’m looking into modifying my rear seat or making the third row seat fit

Im just curious if anyone has a similar set up and what they did.
Thn

this is pretty easy, just take your seat to any reputable auto upholsterer and have them modify your seat to work. They'll probably just narrow it a few inches and it'll be good as new. It's a pretty common thing to do with rear seats in nearly all modified cars/tahoe/burbs

I’ve spoken to the guy I use for Upholstry that’s probably the route I’ll go.
