I have a 17" Kirkey in mine, all the way back, no problem. Attached is a pic.

I remember seeing recent articles, I think in the SCCA mag, on safety. The seat
discussion focused on new safety studies for side impact that recommended seats
that "wing" or wrap around your shoulders, as the shoulder structure can take
orders of magnitude higher loads than can the ribcage, which is where seats
traditionally support the driver.
If you look at current NASCAR, that's the set-up. Not sure our little cars
actually have room for it, at least on the outboard side.
