How big a difference will 2cm make in mounting.

Bought new boots halfway through last season, they were a touch smaller so I just moved my heel forward, now they sit about 0.5 cm Infront of center. Think about pulling to toe 0.75in/1.9 back. boot center will sit in between center and recommended.

Very dependent on how/what you’re skiing. If you like to ski hard/fast then it might make a notable difference. If you’re just doing park laps you probably won’t notice it all that much. -1 or -2 from center will still be a fine mount.

No discernable difference. You'll be fine. Go ski!

i mean if theyre already mounted, go ski em and see. however my guess would be that you will definitely notice this as you are going forward of center. i don't even mount my park skis at center any more because -1.5 skis so much better. once you are forward of the center of the sidecut, every cm is pretty noticeable imo. but don't let it scare you away from experimenting with it
