its personal preference but that is a pretty huge ski for u. also if the ski is really soft its better to go with a bigger size. what ski are u talking about

I dunno I just got 187's and they feel pretty good, If I really need to spin a 270 onto a tiny rail I"ll be able to so really it doesn't matter, and the added length really makes riding nice and I have the 187 chrnic wides and I'm 6' so they are just the same height as I am

im 5'6'' on 176 ar5's as my park ski, and though they aer taller than me i think they are just fine. Next year i might get like a 185 or bigger powder ski, cause my 169 pistols are just too short. Those should be fine for you.

its a bit taller..if you really feel like they are too big you can always mount them 2 cm forward-that is if you arent using them primarily for park
