You are correct. I checked your owner's manual, tire chains are not recommended for your tire size. There are tire chains designed for tight clearances that fit your vehicle. The Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair, part # TC2327. These tire chains are Class S compatible. Class S chains are designed for vehicles that have restricted wheel well clearance. If you decide to go with this tire chain, you will have to assume the risk. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any real world anecdotes about using these tire chains with your vehicle.

I have included a product description link, a video review link, and a diagram of Class S tire chains tolerances below.
