320 binding is too small for 326 boot. Can it work?

picked up a sweet pair of k2 Obsethed's with some Saloman Guardian 16 ATs. The binding only goes up to 320cm boots, I can squeeze my boot in there but is that safe?

Go to a shop and ask them to test how it releases.

Check your forward pressure indicator. If it's nice and flush, you should be all good. If not, they'll need to be remounted.

Ahhh my B, wasn't thinking that the guardians come in 2 distinct sizes. They can 100% be remounted, it just won't help OP fit his boot in there.

Really you should have checked if your boots fit before purchasing.

I wasn't too worried either way, I got a pretty good deal on the set. If the shop says it'll be too sketchy I'll just grab a new pair. Thanks dudes.

guardians come in size small and large. the smalls can only take up to 320mm. You need the large /new bindings.
