Tires --continued, going up a width

I can get these in 140/70 R18 and 150/70 - R18 for the rear.
Diameters are different of course at
140/70-18 - 653.2mm (Sidewall of 98mm)
150/70-18 - 667.2mm (Sidewall of 105mm)

Has anyone done such a width upgrade? Bike has ABS so dont want to cause any issues there either.
Is it worth doing even or just stay with std width?
7mm difference is hardly an issue, so don't think about it, and ABS won't care about it either as it measures revolutions regardless of the sidewall height. Different tires of the same size designation will often have different actual size, also changes in tire pressure will affect the sidewall height and ABS will still work in those cases, correct?
