Theres some threads on the subject, but on the wheel that your bike is currently fitted, the general consensus is to stick with the standard tyre width i.e. a 160, to go with anything wider, results in a pinched tyre which alters the profile and may make the bike handle in a strange way.

If you want to go wider, then search for threads on doing it properly by changing the rear wheel for something else.
