The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair Item # PW3029C are designed for the 275/60-20 tires. The brake line may seem close but they are designed that way. Once the chain is on and snugged to the tire it doesn't move around so it shouldn't make contact with the brake line. If you are concerned it is too close you can try the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair Item # TC2533 which I would recommend over the ladder pattern anyway. The diamond pattern provides more tire coverage which means better traction, they have less on the inside of the tire to interfere with factory components because the ring sits further out on the face of the tire than the Glacier which sits right up against the rim. With the Glacier chain wrapping so far over the inside face of the tire, this means you have more chain to interfere with the factory axle components.
