no but 2-14 will if you stagger them and trim them very slightly....

X2. No way to fit 16's, especially if you run a shroud. Bowtie and I are running 14's, mine has a shroud, his doesn't, both trucks run fine.

Really? You guys got 2 14"s to fit on the same side? The units I got had nothing to trim from them and I couldnt stagger them enough to get them to work out. Dang I didnt think it could be done

I may have to go and readdress the situation.

I'd have a shroud if some one made me one...

but yes stagger the 14s according to flow...bottom one sits right at the rad house and then stagger the top to sit at the upper rad hose...

The way my fans are the side are straight and not fully round all the way around...I lined up the straight sides to fit inside the core....then right where they meet in the center a little trim made them fit perfect...it took a very slight notching in each fan and they fit perfect...
