I seem to recall that on my old Yeti, snow chains could only be used on the rear axle.

 

In the owner's manual there's different advice depending on whether the Yeti is front wheel drive or 4x4.

 

On the Yeti front wheel drive snow chains can only be fitted to the front wheels, and the tyres have to be those small outside diameter 205/55R16 or 205/50R17. There's also advice on the rim specification that these tyre sizes can be fitted to.

Which is why i screenshot the page from the owners manual.

Thanks for the post, post edit.  Makes it clear for the 2x4

The ET of my Audi alloys is 42 - thus pushing the centre of my wheels 1mm further out of the wheel arch than the Skoda spec - I can live with that.......

 

It sounds like they are Audi A4 alloy rims, which although looking like the Audi A3 alloy rims use a different 7Jx16 ET42 specification rather than the 6.5Jx16 ET50 specification that the Audi A3 uses.
