XBimmers | BMW X3 Forum - View Single Post - Options for occasional snow driving -- with the 19" wheels & pirellis

I did see that post where BMW does not recommend chains on the 19's, but I don't see how those SCC snow cables DON'T fit (Super Z6). I'm guessing at most it's 1/2" more clearance needed. The gap between the tire and the wheel well / fender is huge. Even with the tire compressing I don't see it an issue. Am I missing something? I might need a pair of chains soon also =(

From their website:
"To be more precise, it requires only 6.3 mm (1/4") of operating space in the critical inside sidewall area of the tire (typical Class "S" products require 15mm)"
