Brake size for 100-110 mm skis

I currently have look p18s with 95 mm brakes. Most companies have 3 brake sizes which are usually (90-95/110-115/130+) - so skis in the 100-105 mm range are kind of sitting on the fence between brake sizes. Will a 95 mm brake fit on a CT 2.0 (102mm) without having to bend the brake? I know most brakes have a leeway of appx. 5-7 mm but just double checking to see if anyone uses a similar setup.

I had 90mm brakes that wouldn't fit on my 100mm underfoot. Had to replace em and get 110mm. They tried to stretch em out but it was trash.

They'll fit without issue. They might clip a little on the way down, but nothing that's going to stop them from deploying.

Yeah I assumed it would be fine. Thanks for reply.

Would a 130mm brake be too wide for a106 mm ski?

For me yes, too big. They get caught up when you ski with your skis close together/ride switch. It also depends on the binding. A 90mm pivot is great for my Jeff 108s. Pivot brakes always seem to be a bit loose.
