Hubs for R180 equipped cars are different. I encountered the same issue with my RS/STI conversion.
You could have an axle shop mod em....but I wouldnt recommend it.
I just had them swap the whole rear end + hubs and brakes. it was $200 more than sending the axles to be customized. and now I have 2 potters!

where is a good place to look for the specail swap parts like the r180 and axles cause i want to start getting an idea of what and how much to swap to a Sti 6 spd non-DCCD trans, and brembos all around. rear end swap possible if cost is similar to convert for brembos(plus a much strong rear diff).
