Base/Journeys/X have 17" rims, and all others have 18", w/ the RWD S models staggered. The widths are 7.5" to 8.5" on the staggered sets.
And yes, it's on the sidewall

since when is the rim width shown on the sidewall? Unless you were assuming tire width? Or maybe I'm missing something?

Either way, know this detail could be helpful if someone is trying to buy non-OEM size tires for whatever reason...

I agree. I have never seen the rim width stamped on the sidewall of tires. What you may be confusing it with is the diameter of wheel you cannot mount that tire on. It usually says, for example, "Can't mount on 19.5" wheel." That means the diameter of the wheel can not be 19.5" in diameter. Hope that helps.
