Would these snow tire chains rub/rash our rims?

hey folks, i'm looking to buy these Thule CS10 snow tire chains. My only question or feedback i'm looking for is if you think that based on how the chain links lay over the tire portion, would they rub the finish off of our rims at the contact point or do you think they should be alright? thanks for the input.

Snow tires are awesome from what I've read, but not substitute for chains in ice or deep snow. I tried "S-Class" chains on my Honda Element last year fearing they might rub the struts. Turns out it rubbed a layer of rubber off the side walls, but not the rim. The "S-Class" cables (cheapies) worked fine; didn't rub the tires, nor the rim, nor the struts. If I ever put "chains" on my G37x, it'll be the cheap cable type. They're the most low-profile and have minimal contact with the tire side wall.

what are you doing where you need snow chains instead of snow tires.
