Zero Clearance Snow Chain Recommendation for Tire Size 245/35R20

Question:

I’m going on a snow trip really soon and I need to find the perfect snow chains for my tires. The manual says to not use snow chains because there’s no clearance but since it’s a used car, they changed the car’s factory wheels to a different ones. I now have wheels that are 245/35ZR20? What should I do? Thank You.

The best option we have for the tire size 245/35R20 tires you have on your 2015 Chevy Malibu are going to be the Konig K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K44 as these chains are designed to fit your tire size and since they do not drape of the inner shoulder of the tire they basically don't require any clearance at all unlike other chains. The inner clearance requirement that nearly all other chains need is why your manual says you shouldn't use chains. Since this kit avoids that it would be a solution that would work well. Check out the picture I attached that shows these chains on a tire to see what I mean.
