The cross links are roughly 11 1/2 inches long which is the shortest length shown on the web site for chains and replacement parts. http://www.tirechainsupply.com/replacement-parts.html
It would be my guess that it will be very hard to insure that the chains will not mar the wheels. I personally only use the chains on my winter "beater". The chains do move around quite a bit and relocate themselves especially when changing direction such as backing up or "rocking" the car to get it out of deep snow.

Gar,
You don't show any 'spanners'..a rubber circle with metal hooks for keeping such chain taut and in place...do you have/use such?
When living/driving in snow/ice country, and when using chains..we always used spanners. I think that they are still available/sold for this purpose..no?
