Default will a dunlop 150/60 rear fit an sv650s curvy? recomended size is 160/60

i am just wondering if a dunlop rear size 150/60/17 will fit an sv650s and if it will affect the riding at all? i currently have some crap metzelers 160/60/17 that the previous owner flattened off.
any help is appreciated.

its 160/60 that only fits.

The tires on there I'm guessing are Mez4's?

i had a spare wheel with a 150 tyre on it, for the rim size it's as narrow as you can go.

the gsx600 teapot has the same 4.5" wide rear wheel and the 150 tyre was standard fitment.

Its actually a better fit than the std 160/60 which is pinched on the SV rim.
