Almost without exception all factory mounted seats in cars for the last 50 years are bolted at the front and rear of the side rails. Most have blind nuts welded to the floor pan and the bolts pass through the side rails and into the blind nuts. Your car I would suspect to be the same. In most cases you can simply unbolt the seats from the car, measure back the added distance that you require and drill new bolt holes into the floor.

A word of caution!! Check underneath the carpet to ensure that any drilling will not go through any seatbelt wiring or seat heater wiring. As well CHECK THE UNDERSIDE of the floor to see if the drill would go through any wiring or brake/fuel lines. Be prepared to put large/thick washers under the floor for the bolts to mount through. This will keep the bolts from pulling through the floor in the event of an accident. Check as well to see that any underfloor bracing that reinforces the floorpan won't be in your way, requiring drilling through them as well and using extra long bolts. Good Luck!
