The real issue is not if it will fit but what is the actual size of the tire. A 150 dunlop stock tire is actually wider than the 150 880 metzler. Go up to the manufactures websites and check out the actual size and then compare it to what you have on now.

It's weird that one "150" isn't the same as the other "150".

Yea,What He said! Your rim width is important to.A 3" is good for a 150 but if you go to a 160 you should go to a 3.5 or a 4"wider wheel
