Default wheel advice

ive just bought a 57 plate wrx.ive tried to swap the wheels off my 02 plate bug eye which are kei turismos onto the new car but the front hub centres are smaller on the new car so the wheels off the new car wont fit on the old car if that makes sense.the car is an import but surely that doesnt make any diffrence.any advice would be appreciated.

Only advice is "THEY DON'T FIT !".

Not many on here would have known this in advance to be honest !
