You know the B17-S would be too narrow, IF your 160mm is very accurate. If you think you may be a bit on the smaller side in riding postion (remember the rami and tuberosities angle in as they go forward) you could probably get away with the B17-S, but you'd have that shorter nose...
People with small bones ride the B68, etc. If the excess width is posterior to the ischial tuberosities, it shouldn't cause any difficulty. Nothing moves there. Just like you can perch on the edge of a 6 foot wide bench and still "air pedal." (thats extra wide, eh? but it doesn't interfere with hip motion)
If you are interested in a Brooks, try the one that appeals to you most. If that doesn't work within 6 months, send it back to Wallingford Bicycle Parts for a full refund.
