Easiest way for wider rear tyre is to install swingarm, shock and rear-wheel from new-gen 2008-2012 model. Takes about 1.5-2.0 hrs max to install and prices have dropped lots in past couple years.

You'll get much better spring-rate and damping control of rear-wheel. Rear 17" wheel will open up huge options in tyre models and size selections. A 150/60-17 is max that'll fit, more will rub swing-arm and chain. Still hefty size up from pre-gen rear tyre.
