Changing Tire Sizes

Okay. So I read this whole thread and not much info on using the 160/60/17.

I am using my bike just for street riding, casual rides with friends, and NO track at all because my country does not have a single track. I like the wide tire profile looks like the R6 and bigger cc bikes.

So will changing to 160/60/17 rear and 120/65/17 front affect my bike riding negatively? keeping in mind, not going to use for track, but I do need safety though. and If i were to change to these sizes, is there any suspensions I need to adjust? my rear preload spring are currently at 6 (second highest) with the stock tire sizes on.
