I had exactly the same issue when trying on Alpinestars suits. Their cut is designed to be narrower around the shoulder and torso than most other brands.

You may want to try an OMP suit. They tend to have a bit more room in the upper torso, shoulder and arms. They also pre-curve the arms, so they don't stretch as much when in the car.

What do the arms feel like when you're in the car, with the harness on and the steering wheel at full lock? If you don't find the suit comfortable, don't get it. If you ever start doing any longer races, you want to be as comfortable as possible - you should never think about the fit of your suit when driving.

PS. What's the name of your chump car team!? We're number 73 - Money Shift Motorsports, running an E30 325i sedan.
