Almost all tire chains will fit on more than one tire size. Since tire diameter, width and section height all factor into the fit for a tire chain there will be multiple combinations that will work.

For example, Titan Chains # TC2326 fit tire size 265/70-17 as well as wider tires but they do not fit tires as narrow as 245s. Titan chains # TC2828CAM fit the 265s and will fit some tire sizes in the 245mm width, just not your 17-inch rims. They do fit 245/70-17.5 tires however.

If you can tell my the specific chain part you're asking about I can tell you every tire size they will fit.
