Default Electric fan thickness?

Do any of you IS300 owners know how thick/deep your electric fan assemblies are at the thickest part around the fans themselves and the overflow resevoir? I can't seem to find the dimensions anywhere and am looking at buying a set for my 1.5JZ Cressida which has the same size radiator, but wanted to ask the owners/experts/guys with first hand knowledge first. I had to sadly ditch the hydro fan assembly after my water pump with over 100K miles on it finally went, and the backup hydro water pump turned out to be worse off than the original.

So I was looking at electric fan options and the IS300's incorporated overflow resevoir would clean up my engine bay, and sharing the same radiator dimensions as a Cressida is almost too good to be true, but I am rather thickness limited so I need to try to get dimensions before I place an order on one. Thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated!

So I guess no one in here has an IS300, a tape measure, and 2 mins of free time to help out a fellow Toyota enthusiast???

Holy crap, really? Wow, I thought it'd be thicker than that, I just couldn't tell from the pictures I've been looking at trying to judge, It just looked much thicker than that...the Altima fan I was about to use is 4 inches at the thickest part and I was able to fit that one in there but it's wedged in tightly...which means the IS300 fan being an inch thinner should be an even better fit. This is excellent news, thank you so much!
