Aren't the domains rockered? I think it would be fine though.

I think most people who ride them have them set back a few from absolute middle. Don't only take my word for it though.

Recommended is a good way back, something like -6cm... but most people seem to agree -2cm is the sweet spot.

center mount them if youre going to be skiing switch a lot, or go back anywhere to 1.5 at most. and yes, they should be fine for the size. im 5 foot 8, 125 pounds and ride 183 bentchetlers and could definitely downsize if they made them smaller
