It's on the longer side but you should be okay. I'm 5'3 and ride 165s and 172s. A few centimeters shouldn't affect you too much. Spining might be a little more difficult than with shorter skis but you'll be able to adjust.

They will be harder to control but you should be okay. If you weigh a good amount for your size that shoukd help a bit too.

I know a dude who's 5'6 and only rides above 190. it's all about how strong you are.

Yes. Thats too big. Considering you already bought them, they should be fine, u might have a little bit of a hard time moving them around though.
