If the hub bore on the Subie wheels is too small by that much it would be easy to machine them out. I put 6 lug Escalade wheels on a Kia minivan but had to have the bores machined out. That was a significant difference, not just a mm. If it were just that little I would have done it myself instead of paying $25 each to do it at a shop. It's easy to go the other way using the little rings wheel shops carry. I do know the steel 15" wheels on my Subaru fit the hub really tight, they are frozen on there every time I swap wheels which is twice a year. Maybe the VW just wants to give a little more space so you don't have to struggle with it on the side of the road.
