How do you plan on mounting them? If you want to use 2x140mm fans, then get a 280mm rad. There are specific mounting holes on the rad for the fans, so there is no easy way to mount 2x140mm on something expecting 3x120mm except using duct tape and zip ties.

well they won't fit side for side, so a portion of your rad will not be covered by any fans. Why not just use the proper fans for the proper rad?
Assuming it is a "cone" style adapter, then 10mm will be hanging over the rad as well, which may not work for most cases that have a 360mm rad spacing, but then even so, you will have 260mm of horizontal coverage on a 360mm surface. 1/3 of your rad is not being cooled. I do not see it being effective in any way and probably worse for cooling.
