Is a 110mm break way too wide for an 85mm waist? Will it drag on turns?

yes, but luckily most people are interested in buying larger brakes. call up your local shop and ask them if they would swap your 110s for a smaller pair

Alright thanks guys, If I don't find someone to swap them with, could I just bend them in?

Sell the wide brakes, pick up a set of regular brakes at your shop for cheap.
