According to your owners manual, tire chains should be installed on just the front wheels.
The Pewag Chains # PWSXP560 you were looking at have a great diamond pattern which is very helpful with traction side to side as well as front to back, but take quite the effort to install especially in a snowy situation. I've linked an install video for you to see how these are mounted for your convenience.
If it were me I would go with the Thule Self-Tensioning Low-Pro Tire Chains # TH04115097. I highly recommend these because of the super easy mounting and removal process. I have personally installed many of types of chains and love how easy these are, and how little snow I have to get on myself while installing them.
For these chains you will just need to check to make sure you have a clearance of 9mm between your tire and your wheel well so that there will be no contact between the two while driving. These come with wheel protectors so you will not need any additional items.
I went ahead and linked all the above listed products to this page for you and linked the videos of both the Thule chains for you to check out.
