WHich back tyre size??? 170 or 180 ?????? + nice tyre links

Just had a look through a couple of manufacturers websites for some nice sticky tyres for my 900ss for this season...Pirelli is an excellent example so here is a cute link.....

http://www.pirellimoto.co.uk/tires/fitment_chart.asp

Front fitments are all the same so no probs there however rear fits seem to be listed as both
170/60 ZR 17 M/C (72W) TL Diablo
and
180/55ZR17TL(73W) DRGSC (Supercorsa)

I know the section ratio makes a difference to the actual width of the tyre but will a 180 tyre really fit in my skinny swingarm????

My 170 section Bridgestone BT010 looks to run quite close as it is........I think a phone call to Pirelli UK might be in hand for a real width size.

Finally as an aside....BFM tyres seem to have cropped up quite a bit in my searching, so here is their website with a nice usage chart as well:
