Tell that to all the guys who ran the 170 on the F2 and F3.

The 170 will work if it was designed for that application. You can make the wider tire work on the 4.5 inch rim.

BUT - the SV issue is also correct. That bike does NOT like anything wider than the 160 in stock form. But then we keep hearing about SV racers out at Willow running 19/67-420's on that bike. And they claim it works!

So, what the hell do I know....
