Hi everyone.

I would like to take my new wagon to the Victorian Alps in the coming weeks, and am a little confused by the conflicting information around snow chains and the 18" wheels. VW suggest that they cannot be fitted to the 18" wheels (only to 17" and smaller), but places that sell the chains say that they can be fitted, but need to be placed on the rear wheels, as there is insufficient clearance for the chains at the front.

Does anyone out there have any advice or experience with fitting chains to the 18" wheels? I'm looking at getting the Konig P1 low-profile chains, but am not yet sure what to do.

Unfortunately the rules regarding chains are completely different in VIC to NSW.

Thanks in advance.
