Should i try to put them on or order smaller tires?

Those tires WILL NOT RUB unless you have some extreme off-set. Saleens come with 275/40/20"s and car is 1.5" drop or so. You are looking at a series 30 and is probably 3/4" smaller around. Check the diameter of Saleens and yours and confim.

***HERE*** is a link to an ongoing discussion in Saleen / Roush section of MF's on this very subject. Some have installed 305/35/20"s in rear, so with proper off-set, 285/30/20"s will not be an issue.
