Will OEM 2006-2007 WRX wheel (17x7 +55) fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

Q: Will OEM 2006-2007 WRX wheel (17x7 +55) fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

Yes, reportedly. Likely yes. The 2006-07 WRX 17x7 +55 is the same size, offset and 5x100 pattern as the 2008-10 WRX wheel in the hosted 2009 manual copy, and 2011-14 cars run 17x8 +53, an inch wider, so the 17x7 +55 sits inside that wheel's envelope (about 11 mm less inboard and 15 mm less outboard). Tier 1 because the matching spec comes from an undocumented manual copy; a retailer gives the 2008-10 wheel as +53 (F-gr-01). Fit 215/45R17 or the WRX's own tire size.
