I hate to sound like a troll, but they're on backwards. The link connecting the cross link to the round part (terminology escapes me, it's late) is supposed to face the other way so it doesn't dig into the tire.

Good point. Thanks for the comments. I wasn't too worried about how the set was put on this round, I was more concerned with the fit and counting links as well as getting some dimensions for my cable/turn buckle idea.
