Yes.

EDIT: Actually the ET is a bit high, are you sure they are 42?

EDIT2: The stock ET is 35-38 on all Skoda's, I'm taking it they aren't OEM?

If they've come off a Skoda and are OEM, they will fit without trouble. The tyres however may not.

Wheels are 16x7. Tyres will be 195/45/16?

right then josho,

FACTUAL information for the OP

Skoda
Model    Year    PCD    Offset    Bore
Fabia    00>    5x100    35 to 42    57.1
Felicia    94 to 01 4x100    35 to 42    57.1
Octavia    97>    5x100    35 to 42    57.1
Superb    02>    5x112    35 to 42    57.1

So they are more than likely ET 42 as they arent but a standard fitment .

Also to the OP

What is all the spec of your current wheels ?  Tyre size and offset

a good sight to see how much out you will be running different tyre sizes

main thing is with mk3s is that the ream beam DOESNT ALWAYS sit square in the rear arches,

They don't sound like OEM Skoda wheels to me.

I have no idea on the tyre front so I won't comment. I also have a feeling that ET42 is too high, so I wouldn't buy them just yet, there are a few wheel/tyre experts that will give you some advice soon.

Like I said if they are OEM, they'll fit, but 16x7 don't sound like stock wheels to me.

That must be right, because a couple of other websites claim ET on Skoda's to be 35-38! I thought it was 35-42 but as alloywheelguide.com said 35-38 I thought it would be good to mention it's a bit high.

Et42 will be fine, just watch the rears don't hit the shock.
