Default Slimmer Fans?

I think I remember reading something about this here, but after looking through old posts I can't find it...

I've bought an RS500 style radiator. Due to the thicker core, it looks as though the fans will now be hard up against the pulleys...if there's even enough room at all!

Have any of you installed one of these radiators and successfully used the original fans?

I think people go for these new age slimline fans now as they are more efficient and draw less current on the fan loom.IMO I'd just get the new style fans really.

RS500 rad is the same as all other Cosworths, so i don't see how it'd make the fans hit the pulleys?

I can't remember the exact measurements, but the new radiator has a significantly thicker core.
