Aftermarket Radiator Clearance - Hitting IC piping

Aftermarket Radiator Clearance - Hitting IC piping
Hey guys,
I'm in the process of ordering a full blown radiator however I was told that the fan and radiator measures approx 4" in width after calling them. Currently I have the oem radiator with oem fans on a 2007 ap2 - the plastic housing on the fan hits the IC piping on the passenger side and I am wondering if I will have enough clearance to swap out to the fullblown?
I would simply take measurements but I am a couple hundred miles away from my car. The plan is to pickup my car and drive back since I've moved - however I am worried that my car will overheat with the oem radiator. It will be an 8 hour trip. Anyone with similar problems with IC piping hitting the oem rad fans? If you went with an aftermarket option that worked, please let me know!

My bro ther has this same exact problem. Any aluminum radiator such as the full blown/mishimoto/koyo are all about an inch thicker than stock. All these radiators will cause you can to stick out further. So it will not fit your radiator unless you run. A slim fan.
You have 2 options if you want to run a thicker aluminum radiator.
1. run a slim fan
2. Change the inter cooler piping to run into the headlight housing (inline pro style) and keep the stock fan.

i have a mishimoto xl radiator w/ shroud and slim fans for sale if you're interested.
that being said, your car should not over heat during your drive, assuming it's a casual drive
