Dont go "aftermarket" as in no name, go something that has come out of an ADR approved car.
Good selections are
You need something thin - squab/base 520mm wide and low.
A lot of sqabs are too wide.
You then have to offset them to miss hitting the door and then the pedals are offset.
Because a kombi seat sits on a pedestal, you dont need height in the base.
A lot os "cars" the seat comes off the floor and has built in height in the thick squab.
This will put your head against the roof.
As usual - ANY change would require engineering to be legal.
Having an ADR seat to start with makes life easy.
It is "fairly" easy to get rid of your original runners and fit some after market runners and fit one of the above.
Another option is to fit some late bay/T3 runners from Butty Bits
