I'm 6'4", have rearsets and fit alright. Granted I wouldn't spend more than a couple hrs on it without needing a break, but the same would be true of the stock bike anyhow.

As for the 180, while you might be able to pull it off you'll end up with a terrible profile. The stock 160 is already a bit wide I think -the tire is quite steep near the edges. A 160 on a 5" rim is about right.
