What are my tire choices for a 17" wheel?

Even though I don't need a tire at this point, I'm saving that site.

Hey Guy's I am dire need of a new back tire.
I haven't been on the forums in a long while but seem to remember that there was some reason for not bumping up to a 180, other than wiring.
Something about the rim being too narrow for anything other than the SE Tire and Metz 880.
But the new Storm 2 has really caught my fancy and the price is right.
They have in in 170 60 17

and 180 55 17

What do you guys think? Will the 180 fit? Yes I know it is a shorter profile, I won't complain if the back is a touch lower.
Any thoughts? TIA, Del.
BTW, Sorry for jumping in on your thread, I searched but couldn't find the info that I was looking for and this was as closely related and recent post as I could find.
ETA: not worried about wiring issues as I have FLHX TS's installed.

The 180 won't fit a 4.5" rim, spec shows 5.5".
