i'd get the 170s. im about 3" taller then you and i ride 177s, and honestly, you're not gonna feel the extra 5cm i dont think. (when i got my 177s, i went from a 161, and if anything i felt more stable and i didnt really realize that i had increased by 16cm). also, are you done growing? if not, definitally get the 170s, cause you may grow a few more inches and then you'll definitally be glad for the 170s vs the 165s.
