Probably... I looked at the brake size of the 2.5i and the WRX at www.cars101.com

The wrx brakes are 11.4 and 10.3, the 2.5i 10.8 and 10.6, and the 2.5i Limited are 11.5 and 10.6

not sure about how much offset youd need though.

From: Commuting? I don't know what that means anymore.
Car Info: 05 WRX Wagon (Crystal Gray)
Stock Legacy 2.5i Offset = 55mm
Stock Legacy 2.5i Bolt Pattern = 5 X 100

So as long as those wheels have an offset of 37-60 they should fit.

Yeah, the wheels will fit.

They won't fit on a GT, though.

Brake rotor size. You need at least 17" wheels on the GT.

Also, the stock WRX rim (in the US at least) is 16"x6.5" so they won't fit the GT. Other markets have stock rims that are 17"x7" so they should fit.

Yeah, you confused me because he's looking at the JDM 17X7 wheels.

Yeah, I noticed that a little late.

Regardless of the GT, the stock WRX rims in 17X7 (or 16x6.5) size will fit the Legacy 2.5i
