150/70 knobby tire on a Steamer?

I've been running the stock size 130/90 17 TKCs on the back for a while, but they don't last very long.  I've been hearing some good things about the new compound on the Kenda Big Blocks, but the only size that could work is the 150/70 17. 

Has anyone fitted this size knobby to their Steamer?  I know of people fitting street type tires of this size on their Steamers, but I'd like to know if a knobby will clear. 

They do offer a 130/70 17, but I'd rather not go down in size. 

Thank you!
