When you measure your stance width, do you measure from the middle of each binding plate?

Measuring that way, I have my TD1s 19 inches (58 cm) apart. My legs are fairly short; I wear a 30-inch inseam on my pants. However, actual distance from crotch to barefoot sole is 82 cm (just over 32 inches). In height, I'm a bit over 5'8" (173 cm). This is my first alpine setup.

Thanks!

Yes.

You can probably go wider, like 19.5" if you use toe lift under the front foot and heel lift under the back foot.

Thanks, Jack. No lift, but 3-degree cant disk in the rear. 0 in front.

Sounds a little wide for your height, especially without any toe lift. I'm 6' 3' and ride 19 1/2" with lots of toe and heel lift. There are a couple different formulas for getting a rough idea of what your width should be. Try a search.
