Snow Chains/ Cable?

I'm looking for a snow traction device for my 2016 ILX Premium/ A-Spec. Does anyone have any recommendations? I live in California and never experience snow, but I was planning on making a trip up some mountains to go snowboarding. I'm concerned about the snow chains either scratching the rims or there not being enough clearance from the wheel and the car, which may result in damage.

If anyone's used snow chains, can you recommend the exact product? Thanks and Merry Christmas to you all!

I think chains are overkill, front wheel drive and good set of snow tires and you good to go.

Trust me, I live in Canada

The OP probably lives in a non-snow area of CA. Snow tires would be a lot of cost for a 1-2x drive up into the mountains where there is snow. Yeah, I would also be concerned with clearance. Back when I had an Integra, I used snow cables, which didn't require as much clearance.
