Tire Chains for 205/50 R16

I put 205 /50 R16 tires replacing stock tires on my Fit Sport. Anyone has experience with putting tire chains on this size tires? I am afraid there could be clearance issue. Thanks in advance.

I got mine from NAPA. In the owner's manual there is a section that tells you what to get. I got what was in the manual for $30. Of course these are for 2013 sport stock size. I have not yet put them on yet.

The thule application chart says for size "075" is applicable to both
stock size 185/55 R16
and the alternative 205/50 R16
so you can use the same chains.

As far as the car, I don't think there is that much of a difference between the two to cause a problem, the car is not that precision fitted that 20mm will make a difference.

Try on to be sure before you hit the snow

As a side note:
etrailer.com has videos showing installation of a bunch of the thule chain models on a 2nd gen honda fit sport (stock 185/55/r16 tire though).
