There are two limiting things, your rim width and the space between your current tyre and the belt. If you have a 3 1/2" rim you can fit a 160, as long as you have over 1/4" clearance at present.
Fitted tyre widths vary and to be safe, to get in a 180 instead of your 150 you need around 3/4" to provide safe clearance. Even if you remove your belt guard I doubt if you have that, but check.
I also think you will need a wider rim than 3 1/2". Metzeler may have rim and tyre width data on their website, certainly Avon (my preferred brand) does.

Metzeler 180/70R-16 for the rear requires a 5" to 6.0" rim 5.0" recommended and the 110/90-19 requires a 2.15 to 3" rim 2.5" recommended
