People have run them before on fabias. The wheel is going to be sticking out roughly 60mm further. Not sure what tires you'll need on it though, will have to be a stretched tyre or a 225 with a very low profile so the speedo won't be miles out.

Was gonna going to go for stretched tyre look and how come low profile tires they are still 16" rims? So they will come out 60mm from the hub?

Because the profile is a percentage of the width, and 225-16 is much wider than 205-16, therefore you need a smaller percentage to achieve a similar rolling radius.
