To completely disable the wrapping:

Settings > Editor: Word Wrap > Off

To set the wrapping to the 160th column:

Settings > Editor: Word Wrap > wordWrapColumn

Settings > Editor: Word Wrap Column > 160

Or add the following to your settings.json:

"editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 160

You can open the settings file by pressing F1 and typing settings.json.
