Default A/C Fan Settings with 160 Tstat?

Hey all, I just installed a 160 degree tstat, changed my fan settings per a search on the forums, I just put the "Fan 1 Temp On A/C On" to 185, is that correct? The a/c doesn't feel cold at idle... The car idles in traffic at about 178-182 from what I can see but I'm unsure what to set the a/c temp to.

Those settings are similar to what I used when I had the
160 'stat in there. But what I found was that the radiator
was unable to support the lower temps with A/C on, even
with fans on sooner. If you want to run that cool, and do
it consistently, you need a better radiator (and a clean
condenser). Otherwise you run cool when it helps none
and run hot when it hurts.

Yeah, I have a BeCool 2.5" radiator in there. I never see anything over 194.
