I have a great tire chain solution for you. Unfortunately, the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams for Wide Base Tires - Ladder Pattern - V-Bar Link # TC3829CAM do not fit 295/55-20 tires.

With that being said, a great pair of chains that do fit are the Konig Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XD16 Pro - Size 279 # KON44FR. There are a lot of great benefits to these chains. First off, they are Class S compatible which is a rating for vehicles that have limited wheel-well clearance. With this rating, it dramatically decreases the potential for damage for components in your wheel wells. They also come with anti-scratch nylon bumpers protect your rims. To add to the ease of installation, the Konig Snow Chains also come with self-tensioners that takes away the headache of having to adjust the chains after each trip. Since these tire chains require 16mm of wheel well clearance, I recommend measuring your wheel well to the closest component to make sure you have enough space. I went ahead and attached a diagram of how to conduct this measurement.

As with all tire chains, I recommend consulting your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that you are abiding by all guidelines outlined.
