Putting a 160 is really outta the question. Who said theres extra space left, because anyone who knows anything, knows that the Bt-016 and Pilot Powers are really the only tires that fit without touching the chain guard in 150/60 size.
From your posts I get the feeling you don't know much about the performance or handling aspect of the bike, and you're just going for looks... If you put on the 150/70 you will significantly raise the rear end of the bike. Even the 140/70 size raises it a couple mm from stock height, but it may actually be preferable depending on your height. The 150/70 will have a huge sidewall. Like I said in a previous thread of yours if you can't get a 150/60 go for 140/70 NOT 150/70.
There is a lot more to tire dimensions and their fitting than just size.

I'm trying to find 150/60s but since most of the people here upgraded to 150s with 70s and didn't had problems I'm considering it as an option.
And btw all that BT003s and BT016 are 161mm wide. Yes in size of 160/60 of for example metzeler M5. Also Metzeler M5 150/60/17 is 149mm max. So I thought maybe some 160s may be 160mm or thinner.
