Will a 140 rear tire fit my 750 LTD?

Just picked up an '82 KZ750 (4cyl) LTD. I need to get a rear tire. I guess 130/90-16 is the stock size. Will a 140/90 fit ok without rubbing or sidewall distortion?

I found a local deal on one, but I need to act quick.

But if it's gonna be a problem, I'll pass. It's not that good of a deal to deal with any clearance headaches.

On my '79 KZ750 twin, the biggest rear that fits is around 4.75-18 which I believe is equivalent to around 120 - 130 range in metric. A 140 is a big honking tire, I would be surpised if it fits but maybe (?).
