The '08's will fit when you fix the '04's wheel bearing problem.

Well, they'll bolt up anyway, may not clear the suspension.

the 04 sti is the only sti with the 'weak' 5x100 hub, while 05+ get the 5x114.3 which is stronger and more robust.

and no, the offset on the 350z wheel is probably way off for our cars.

more importantly the bolt pattern on the 350z is 5x114.3

Definitely not. The stockers are approx 28 lbs from what I've been told, whereas the 08 BBS rims weigh in at 19.6 lbs.
