snow chains

I have a 2015 F Sport.

Has anyone ran snow chains on F Sport wheels?

Hope you never have to, unless yours is AWD.

It's not... But snow season is coming up so I'm looking for some chains just in case.

Looking at the Konig K-Summit.

What part of CA are you?

Here in SoCal, it's hot sunny day.

Sacramento. Its warm here today. But I usually go up to Northstar a few times a month. Just booked a cabin for January, so I'm planing ahead.

Unless you're lowered I don't see why there should be any problem since there's plenty of clearance. Make sure to get quick-install type chains and practice at least once before heading out.

I am. But I'm more concerned with scratching/damaging the wheels.

I'm from Sacramento too.. I wouldn't take GS up to Tahoe, especially on i80, my previous car had front bumper & hood basically destroyed with rock chips due to salt & send they dump on road. Plus I doubt we get tons of snow on upcoming season.

FYI.. I'm skiing every Saturday, I went ahead and bought separate set of used wheels & put used snow tires on that I got from CL, cost me total about $650, used them for 4 seasons. Typically on Friday night it takes me 30 mins to swap wheels if snow storm predicted. Used to do it when I had my 2011 Acura TL SH-AWD 6MT. Definitely not taking my RWD GS though.
