I'm buying new bindings and i have 2 targets, same binding but brakes are 90mm- more expensive and 110mm- cheaper will 110mm brakes disturb my ridding while skis dimensions are:113/83/102

Thats a pretty big difference, 110 on a 83 waist seems a little too wide. Could you ride it? Probably.

I would not go with the 110mm option, your brakes will catch when you get on your skis' edge. Even the 90mm is on the wider side. You might want to look at different bindings that offer skinnier brake widths.

Rule of thumb is never over 15mm or else it can affect riding. Guess you could try bending them in or trading out at your local shop.

90mm will be fine, I ride Fks on a an 83mm Surface LAB002, the ski shop will bend them resulting in no overhang

But he's trying to avoid buying the 90mm brake since it costs more
