Newbie tire question

Hi everyone, new to this forum, there seem to be a lot of cool & intelligent riders on here. I have an '07 650R that's my daily ride, I recently picked up a cheap '95 ZX600E for a winter fix-up project. My question is, does anyone know if a 180/55/17 tire will work on the back of the '95 ZX600? CycleGear has a good deal on tires but not on the 170/60/17 size that's on there now. I've done some searching for info, & ordered a user manual & service manual for the 600 but they're not here yet. I'd like to put some decent rubber on the ZX600 & ride it a bit this fall before I start tearing it apart.

TIA.

Edit: Yes, I know that a 180 on the back of a 600 is overkill & marginally stupid, just trying to take advantage of a cheap deal on tires so I can get the bike inspected & tagged to make it street legal. I'd be perfectly happy with a 160 like my 650R.
