Default Sportster 2006 wider rear tyre?

Does anyone know can i put the wider rear tyre without problems? I have now 150/80 rear tyre but i want wider. Rim is 3" wide. The bike is 2006 sportster. Does for example shinko 777 170/70 fit my bike. Current tyre (150/80-16) and belt space is about 12mm (31/64").

A 150 is really the widest recommended for your 3" wide rim (although people have used wider tires on that rim) ... Go with a wider rim for a wider tire.
