You have two options: Go narrow and save weight, but sacrifice uphill traction, or; go wide, cut off a lot of material to fit your skis perfectly, sacrifice lightless, but gain better traction. I would suggest that you go wider with the 140mm and cut to fit. You may encounter some terrain where the wider skins will save you major headaches.
