Would a spare wheel from a Mk 1 Octy fit a Mk 2? 

 

The Mk 1 has a plain steel spare for a car with 16" alloys. 

The Mk 2 has 17" Pallas wheels and the usual get-you-home can of gunk (no spare wheel).

 

 

Hello Nepo, check the wheel bolt PCD for the Mk1 - I seem to recall that the Mk1 is 5 x 100mm, while I think the Mk2 is 5 x 112mm. 

As @Mike The Thinker and an online check on Octavia specs confirms. 

A 15" rim (with 195/65R15 tyre) will fit the Octavia MK2, if the front brake discs aren't bigger than 288mm.

 

According to Jurid on autodoc, it looks like it is only the Octavia MK2 RS models that use the bigger 312mm front brake discs, ie. 2.0TDI 170HP and 2.0TSI 200HP.
