Try attaching the outboard belt to a gear leg, and the inboard belt to the
small diagonal tube that ties to the boom tube, and then run them under the
smaller tube that the bottom corner of the seats attaches to. That will put
them in the correct place over the hips.

Kinda sounds twisted to me. Many wings have a gradual twist built in them
to reduce the tenancy for a wing to drop and improve controllability during
a stall condition by making the wings inboard portion stall before the
tips. Makes the ailerons more effective. The twist reduces the wing tips
angle of attack compared to the inboard portion. This is common on many
airplanes. Some are adjusted by the struts, others like the ThunderGull
which has not struts the twist is built into the wing using jigs during its
construction and assembly.

I believe it is 15 x 6.00 x 6. That is for sure from a Firestar II, and my
Firestar I has the same wheels.

The twist in a wing you describe below is called "washout".
