The tyres will usually be the same size front and rear if the car has 16" or 17" BMW wheels, it was only the 18" options that had wider rear wheels and tyres, like the ones in the second linked advert.
The downside of that car is that it is a facelift 2.5i so is 40 or so bhp down on a 2.5Si so you need to consider whether that will matter to you, although it does have the desirable M-Sport seats that Lee's one doesn't. But neither of them has heated seats which most Roadster owners seem to consider essential to extend the roof-down experience at lower temperatures.
The other possible rust issue is the rear brake pipes, especially at the end of the plastic cover just in front of the rear passenger wheel.
Oil leaks aren't unusual from the cam-cover and oil filter housing gaskets that get brittle over time.
I think you'd only be able to see the CDV from below, and as you say it isn't hard to remove anyway.
With and without CDV photos.
