I have the same prob, The damn blades kept hitting the mount and making this stupid noise whenever the fan kicked on.
I used a razor blade to trim down the stock blades for now, but I still have to do something more because the top rad mounts won't fit and the bottom is just a 1/8" from setting in the hole.

I ended up getting rid of the battery shroud and moving a small bracket that was in the way, and I'm going to have to take a hammer and bend back a lip that isn't letting the rad fit properly.

might use some autozone slim fans if they fit just to get it so its not hitting. i can't use the a/c fan either cuz it makes a loud *** noise cuz its leaning against the a/c lines
