+5 is good for fujis.
I wish mine were a bit more forward.

on K2's true center is at +12. true center is the exact middle of the ski. core center is at +7.5, and the exact middle of the sidecut. +7.5 is where they are meant to be skiied for park. if you want to ski powder and park, and the entire mountain, mount them at +5. trust me on this one dude.
