You want to adjust it so it CAN hit the radiator??? Thats a strange request.

You can move it away easily with some spacers between the fan mount on the fan and the car. It shouldnt rattle or wobble tho, I'd look into that.

You may want to look at them to see if the motor bearings are going out. That could cause the fan to wobble. For now, some simple shims like madmax suggested could eliminate some of the impact, but if the bearings are going your shim fix will only put off the inevitable replacement.
