Need to get a wheel/tire off, where are the jack points? Any illustrations?

You'll see circles right behind the tires. Put your jack under that and everything will be OK.

On the rail just under the front door seam should be a concave fitting for the convex head of the emer jack. I place a 2x4 from that fitting diagonally 14 or 16 inches inboard to a flat surface in the unibody. I place the floor jack directly under the fitting. The weight is carried by the fitting and the rail. The Owner's Manual is a good investment if only to save time waiting for a reply.

Get an owners manual to keep in the glove box, lot's of good info and still fairly inexpensive from one of the Big 3.

9 Two 8,
Don't get under the car with just a floor jack supporting it! I would also place a jack stand under where the front tow hook mounts to the frame.
