Default swapping 180 rear to 16 inch avon mkII... Is it a big deal?

Ive got the chance to pick up a chopped rigid 72 ironhead, only problem is he is running a 180 rear tire and im not really a wider tire guy.

Im not that experienced in this area and was wondering if this is a big deal or just a question of proper spacers etc...

Thanks

the rim will stay in the same place only the rubber will have a smaller width. How wide is the rim?
