the Axles and hubs are off a 04 sti those are 5x100.

My problem is getting the hubs into my 05 wrx knuckles. I havent really messed with it yet but looking at it yesterday it didnt seem like the hubs would slide into my knuckles.

I know the bearings are different!

I have a R180 with STI axles.

When you did your 6spd swap did you need the rear STI knuckles????

no, they will not. youll either need to get them machined, or get STI knuckles to go with them. you also might need to worry about some of the ebrake stuff too if you go with the knuckles. But i cant remember exactly.

just pull a wrx hub and have machine shop turn the STi hub down to the size of the wrx hub and then press into bearing. Not too hard to do thats for sure.
