Will OEM 2008-10 WRX (GE/GH) 17x7 wheel, 5x100 fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

Q: Will OEM 2008-10 WRX (GE/GH) 17x7 wheel, 5x100 fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

Unclear. Factory 2008-10 WRX wheel: 17x7 on 5x100, with a 56.1 mm bore per wheel guides. Tires: P205/50R17 all-season on the 2008, 225/45R17 summer tires on the 2009-10 (Subaru's 2009 release). The offset is unresolved: the hosted 2009 service-manual copy (no document id, so editorial) gives 55 mm, while a wheel retailer lists +53. The same retailer gives the 2009-10 tire as 215/50R17, which disagrees with Subaru's release, so its 2009-10 figures are not used. Measure or read the wheel's stamping before buying spacers or tires.
