I know it's not apples to apples, but I have a bigger turbo in my car than the Greddy ( location may not be the same though). I just trimmed/cut a portion of the fan "guard" that the compressor housing would've been touching. No issues and I get to keep my strong OEM fans.

Do not change the fans out unless you must; it is almost always a compromise for a car that is street driven. As fun as it is to buy cool aftermarket stuff, I've found on other platforms ( e36, 3000GT VR4) that aftermarket fans are a compromise for reliability, airflow, fit, wiring, blah blah blah.
