Default Any suggestions on radiator fans?

Im replacing the stock radiator with an aluminum one, and i was also planning on replacing the stock big radiator fans with some new slim fans.
Any suggestions on what size to do them 10'' or 12''?
And what about installing them on the front side of the radiator instead of the back side to make the engine bay look cleaner?

you can put them on the front but you would have to make custom brackets and you would have to order ones that push not pull. our fans pull hence why they are on the back side. you can buy slim fans and they will look better imo

most of the slim fan can be operated as a push or pull, my old one is fasten with a nylon stud which i need to push thru the fins.

just look at the cfm rating, factor in some % lose if you are not running a shroud
