Will a 180mm PSU fit inside my Fractal Define R3?

I got to get a new PSU and are considering the EVGA supernova G2 750W, problem is the PSU being 180mm long and a diffuse note from fractal saying "cirka 170mm PSU max".

From looking around on videos and reading review I think people have been using 180mm PSUs but no one mentions anything about the fit at all.

Do you think it's safe to get the g2 or should I aim for another PSU?

So are you intending to use the bottom fan mount next to the PSU? If so then you can't get the EVGA G2 to fit inside. If you do want to avail the bottom fan mount then you'e going to need a shorter length PSU. You could go for the G3/G2L or Seasonic SS-760XP2.
