I know this may sound like a dumb question but, would 100mm brakes fit on a 100mm waist or would it rube too much?

You are good, IM using a 95mm break on a 95mm ski. They may have to bend it a mm or 2, but You won't have a problem

should fit fineee. im riding 95mm brakes on 100mm wide skis. generally you can go around 10mm less than the width of your skis and just bend them out

I have 110 mm brakes on 122mm wasted skis. It works. Not ideal but my real brake flew off somewhere and that's what I had as a backup.

they think of this, the brake size is generally slightly larger than listed to prevent any sizing issues
