It's required by federal law, so, no.

Yes, required. Your subaru must be an older car

The NHTSA issued a rule (49 CFR Parts 571 and 585) in April 2005 that establishes a federal standard requiring the installation of a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in all light vehicles by September 2007. Part of the rule requires that the TPMS have no provision to allow it to be disabled, even when non-TPMS compatible wheels/tires are fitted to the vehicle.

 

Why would you need to pay to take off and install them onto the new rims and tires? Take it to wherever you got your rims and tires from and have them take it out and install in the new set of rims. It shouldn't cost you anything. Just ask and you may get lucky.

I just got mine swaped for free at Discount Tire (maybe because I bought my new rims and wheels from them). And hey, Discount Tire now has a machine that can program your tpms on your new rims. You do not need to take it to a dealer. They did mine wirelessly with their machine and it took no more than 10 minutes. TPMS light is now off! Try it.

 

check your local discount tires. some of them they do the programing. I got mine done with free of charge

 

Huh Its a 2007 wrx so it must have been the last year they didnt put it in.
