Does that also mean that the front 18" Boxster S wheels are a different size than the rear 18" Boxster S wheels?

So, there is no tire rotation changing front and back, but only left and right?

Probably stupid question no. 4: Why would the front Carrera IIIs be the same size as the 18" Boxster S wheels but the rear Carrera IIIs be a different size than the rear Boxster S wheels?
Yes, different size tires and wheels on the front compared to the back on the Boxster and 911. I haven't seen in manual what they recommend for tire rotation but if your car has a non-directional tire you could rotate left to right but you'll never be moving the front to the rear.

As stated above, the 911 and the Boxster are different animals from the seats back. Even where you see a wheel style offered on both cars the rear wheels are built with different widths and offsets. As a result, it isn't as simple as just bolting a 911 rear wheel on to a Boxster.
