That is the rim width that Dunlop recommends for the A13 150.
When I switch back to the Pirellis I will use the 140 rear as I did before and go back to the stock 3.5" rim width.
The 140 rear Pirelli never gave me issues with grip, so there is no advantage to using the 150. In fact there is a disadvantage because the 150 tire weighs more which adversely affects acceleration.

If you're already on the edge of 110mm front, wouldn't another 5-degrees lean put it off the edge?
Wouldn't putting 150 on 3.5" rim not perform as well as 140 on same 3.5" rim?
I suppose there's a reason Dunlop recommends 4.0" rim for 150 tyre?
