I have custom 1S skates sized:
8.25 EE/B left
8.00 E/B right
280mm Holders
The rest of the specs don’t matter but this is a 3rd pair I’ve had made and wanted to go 272 holders on the pair but the rep said I couldn’t with the width even though Bauer retail at this size is a 272. Is this true or should I just stick with 280?

Usually wider skates go up a holder size, so an 8D would use 272, but an 8EE would use 280s. Part of the reason for this is that a wider skate also gets an extra 3 or so mm in length from my experience, so they're longer than a D in the same size.
You could always have them profile. Won't be exactly the same, but depending on what you're looking to gain from the shorter holders you may find a profile that works for you

The edges of the holders are almost flush with the edge of the outsole you could not fit a bigger holder on this if you tried it’s maxed out

Are you saying that with the 272 it's maxed out? Or with the 280?
I wear size 9E and I've had 288s without issue.

I’m going with 272s, ditching the 280s.

Yeah, you'll be fine with 272s. Sorry, didn't understand what you were trying to say. I was just trying to explain that Bauer uses longer holders for wider skates on the same size. 272 shouldn't be an issue though, not sure why they're giving you a hard time about it on customs.
