Will 2015-2021 WRX (VA) factory wheels fit a Subaru WRX (GD/GG, 2002-2007)?
Short answer: No. Confirmed
No: Retailer spec tables agree the 2015+ WRX moved to 5x114.3 while the 2002-07 WRX uses 5x100 (both on a 56.1mm hub), so VA wheels do not bolt onto a GD WRX.

Details
Retailer spec tables agree the 2015+ WRX moved to 5x114.3 while the 2002-07 WRX uses 5x100 (both on a 56.1mm hub), so VA wheels do not bolt onto a GD WRX. Bolt-on 5x100-to-5x114.3 adapters are sold (for example 15mm hub-centric units), but one wheel retailer warns they push the wheel out by their thickness, add weight and hardware to re-check, and recommends converting to 2005+ STI hubs instead. On a 2005-07 STI (already 5x114.3) the pattern matches; check offset and brake clearance.
