You could end up with a seat that is pointing you diagonally towards the driver's side mirror, or worse. I would think about changing the seat mounts, no one wants to crash, but EVERYONE wants to walk away from one. I'd also use high grade bolts to mount to the floor, and you don't need to buy the special seat mounting plates from G-Force or wherever, just go to Lowe's and get some 1/16" (there abouts) thick steel and use that for a washer. Cut it so you can use 1 long rectangle one either side of the mounts and put two holes in it, and round the edges, etc. Account for any non-flat areas under the car, where you're mounting the seat (if I remember correctly the portion of the under-car near the transmission tunnel isn't completely flat and you may need to drill a very short slot to get the plat to fit).

Sorry to hijack.

Now as for the seat mounting....i'm 6'3" or 6'4" and weigh in the realm of 250 or so 260, not a small human by any stretch. I drilled the factory mounts out of my car and mounted my seat directly to the floor gave me quite a bit more room. Might not be an option for all, but might be something to look at.
