Will OEM 2015-19 WRX (VA) 17x8 +55 wheel, 5x114.3 fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

Q: Will OEM 2015-19 WRX (VA) 17x8 +55 wheel, 5x114.3 fit a Subaru WRX and STI (GE/GH/GR/GV, 2008-2014)?

No. No on a 2008-14 WRX: the VA wheel is 5x114.3 and these WRXs are 5x100 (service manuals). On a 2008-14 STI the pattern matches but, per a retailer's install thread, the factory WRX 17x8 does not clear STI Brembo front calipers without a 10 mm spacer, so it is not a direct fit there either.
