Not sure why you would need to wire the chains through the wheel spokes (if I understood you correctly).
I have always laid the chain out behind the tire, just to get it all untangled, links untwisted, etc. Then drape the chain set over the top of the tire, and tuck the excess up into the nip of the roadway and tire. Then drive about 1 foot, forward or backward whichever is easiest, so the chain you tucked in the nip has now passed under the tire. It's nice if someone else moves the vehicle so you can watch, but works fine for one person too. Then just makeup the chain cinches and add your tensioners.
I never put chains on a trailer, but I don't see how it would be different that any vehicle.
Always cracks me up when I see folks jacking up a wheel to install chains.
