I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2016 Honda CR-V and did find where it is recommended to use SCC (Security Chain Company) TC2111MM chains for your 225/65R17 tires. This is simply because your vehicle has limited wheel well clearance so only tire chains that require minimal internal clearance should be used. They should also only be installed on the front tires.

While we do not have the specific SCC brand TC2111MM chains available we do have similar low-profile chains that are confirmed to fit the 225/65R17 tires on your CR-V and will work great.

I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH01594245. These D-shape link chains are Class S compatible which means they are designed specifically for vehicles like yours that feature limited clearance. I really like the self-centering and self-tensioning design on these particular chains that allow you to simply loop them around the tire and drive off. The chains will actually tighten by themselves as the wheel spins.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out.
