Nice rims. I'd expect them to fit, being 8 inches wide. STi rims are 7.5.
But I wouldn't count on it. Sti ones are also ET48 or even 50 something, can't remember.
I sold a set of subaru fitment wheels ages ago, to someone with a golf, and they didn't fit. You are best of calling them. At least you can send them back if they don't fit, but they have said they do.

The lower the ET the more the wheel will be towards the wheelarch. In theory, you will have more caliper clearance but the design of the inside of the spokes will also come into it. With that offset the wheels will noticably stick out more. If the car is lowered, wheelarch clearance may get marginal?

My 8" rims are ET 44 and they catch the rear arches (New-Age). So unlikely to fit without serious bodywork issues. That's IF they actually clear the brakes anyway...
