Still, 260 is too hot. a 20 row setrab would work I am sure but you are blocking the radiator and coolant might get even more out of control (we were seeing 230F coolant that same day and the stock coolant needle was definitely climbing).
Agreed, that's the trade off with front mount stuff. If you throw an oil cooler in there that blocks the radiator you might be no better off or have to upgrade your coolant system to make up for it.

The other option is mounting it behind one of the fog light mounts and build some ducting to go to a cooler back there. The question is just how big of a cooler can you fit back there.
