The document I posted is clear:

The tenth digit of the 17-digit vehicle identification number indicates the model year,
z. For example, WP0ZZZ98ZVS600001:
V = 1997 W = 1998 X = 1999 Y = 2000 1 = 2001 2 = 2002 etc.

And further above the table with the 18” wheels:
18" only for vehicles from model year 1998 (W) onwards.

So if you find a "V" in your VIN as tenth digit you are not allowed to run 18". And keep in mind that you need to stick to the mentioned dimensions and hints of the tires for 18" rims to be on the save side even if you have a MY 1998 onward!
