Mounting question

hey, long story short, my bro got the fischer addicts he had them mounted back 2 from true center. He just recently got injured, and now those puppies are mine. I ski in the park 95% of the time and I want to remount them to true center. I'm 6ft and I weigh 160, the only problem that I'm having though is that holes might be to close to remount. What do you guys think? will the holes be to close to remount?

Should I even remount them to center? Do you think it's worth it?

are you going to remount the same binding? Is you sole length the same? If these are both true then you should remount to center.

I've skied them a few times already in the park, I'm not really likin them that much and I'd rather center mount them. I'm still debating though because of the holes being to close issue. I just don't want to fuck anything up cuz these are fucking sick skis.

if the sole is the same and so is the binding you are going to have 2CM between the holes which is plenty of offset. No lie, any good tech would also tell you this

If it is really not going to be worth it and there is a risk of the holes being to close then I won't do it. I really want to remount them to center but I'm just suck on the hole problem
