one think to consider
Fitting bucket seats in most cases makes you seat in a more upright position.
This along with the proper seating position (ie knees and elbows bent) this will bring you closer to the steering wheel, that is forward.
Now the question: at which point did you meaure the width?
cos the beetles ive seen with bucket seats all of them have them positioned front of the b pillar, with the shoulders at the window area which is normal imo. example is a 1303 with two Sparco evo 2. close fit but works:P
except if you are more than 1.85 in height
I suppose your beetle will be a road going with some track/strp use. think about safety as well. you should be able to unlock the harness and get out in about 5-6 sec maximum (f1 cars/driver combo must be 5 sec - with removing the steering wheel)

Thats all

Chris
