Yes, reportedly: FastWRX lists every 2008-2014 WRX wheel as 5x100 with a 56.1mm bore and +53 offset, the same pattern and bore as the GD WRX, and a second retailer agrees the 2008-14 WRX stayed on 5x100.

Details
FastWRX lists every 2008-2014 WRX wheel as 5x100 with a 56.1mm bore and +53 offset, the same pattern and bore as the GD WRX, and a second retailer agrees the 2008-14 WRX stayed on 5x100. One wheel blog instead says all 2008-14 WRX moved to 5x114.3; that conflicts with the two spec tables, so measure or check the wheel's stamping before buying. The 2011-14 17x8 wheels came with 235/45R17, wider than any GD WRX tire, so check clearance on lowered cars.
Specs
- bolt pattern: 5x100 (per FastWRX; one source disagrees)
- center bore mm: 56.1
- sizes: 17x7 +53 (2008-10); 17x8 +53 with 235/45R17 (2011-14)
