Rota has an 18x9 +50mm? must be S2000 rear fitment.

Before you buy D2s you need to call someone who sells rotas and find out if they clear brembos.

When the D2's first came out had issues clearing WRX Brakes.

Personally I wouldn't do it.

D2's don't clear Brembos... they hardly clear 03-05 WRX brakes (don't clear 02 wrx brakes, just barely).

Just b/c they look the same doesn't mean they are the same.

the SSR SP1 or Work Meister S1s will clear if you get the right size/offset, there are plenty sizes that work in those wheels if you're interested in spending a little more for the real deal.

18x9 with 50mm offset should be fine right?

No, Rota does not have any 9" wheels that fit Subarus properly.

the 18x9 +50mm will not work.
