On some vehicles like your 2016 Ford Explorer the tire chain size does matter. Like you said, Class S chains are needed when there is limited clearance. Even though cables # PW2029C are Class S rated the cross chains are a little over 12mm in diameter.
A better option is to use Titan chains # TC2319 which have a chain link thickness of 3.7mm.
