wondering if they will clear the disk brakes front and rear ?  

15" wheels will fit, as the Fabia doesn't use front discs bigger than 288mm diameter.

Fabias with less than 110PS may use even smaller 256mm diameter front discs. In these cases 14" wheels will fit. However, it's easy to check whether the front discs are either 256mm diameter or 288mm diameter by taking a rough measurement. There's no need to check the diameter of the rear discs, because they are never bigger than the front discs.

thanks loads,   sick of paying for 215 45 r16 tyres , stupid feckin size and way to expensive.  and no selection.

nice one !

15" alloys even fit over 288mm front discs, well VW ones fit over same version of Polo with 288mm front discs - not much clearance with 15" alloys, but enough as that is what I use on my wife's 2015 Polo in colder weather with winter tyres.

Plenty of quality tyres to be had in this size. Goodyear, Michelin or mid-range Avon if you’re on a budget. £85 - £120 a corner is not expensive at all. Never fit cheap budget tyres. Don’t last half as long as premium, so no saving. Plus, crap in the winter, as the cheapo rubber gets to hard. Tyres, brakes and suspension should never be done on the cheap.

This is true, however there are more common tyre sizes which are a lot cheaper for the same brand of tyre.  A 185/60/15 Michelin tyre is considerably cheaper than a 215/45/16 Michelin tyre.  Another option would potentially be a 205/55/16 as that is the most common tyre size, however the circumference of that size is about 4 inches larger, so it could cause some rubbing, but also change the speed readout on your car. Eg. when your car reads 70mpg, you'll be going 74mph.  There is a way around this, which is to change your tyre size in VCDS or OBD11 which will adjust your speedo.
