In theory, (120*0.70)-(120*0.60) = 12mm increase in ride height, and the same reduction in clearance to the front mudguard. In practise, the change may be less, though I’d be surprised if it were as little as 5 or 6mm.
What rim width do you have on the rear of the bike? The 900 Monster has the 5.5” rear rim which was originally fitted with the scarce 170/60 size tyres. You can fit the 180/55 on those, but for 190 or 200 width tyres you really need a 6” rim.
If you’ve got the 4.5” rim you are probably already at the maximum rubber at 160.
