(I assume 17" refers to diameter and 7.0 refers to the width?)

the standard 02 WRX 17 is a 17x7, thats a 17 inch diamater, 7inch width. the 02 STI is a 17x7.5, but your car shares the same guards so as long as the offset is relatively normal, it should fit no issues. stock 02 is a +48 offset and sti is a +53 offset, so most 17x7.5 rims with a +53 offset will also clear brembos should you try to sell the rims later etc
