Maybe 110 to have them as functional as they should be. But they will never be as good if you bend them. Even if you can bend them so that you first straighten then rebend them down the arm will be shorter then standard. So really if its 5-10mm you will be fine if its more although you may be able to do it you will be better off with new brakes.

you might run the risk of locking brakes since they will be sticking out farther due to the bending.

Yeah just get new ones. It's not like your on fks where changing brakes sucks so there is no point trying to bend them and have an inferior brake setup.
