Answer:

9000 - 6750 2250 pounds is the weight of the truck 2250/9000 X 100 25% ANSWER 2) 55/100 X75 165/4 43.75 pounds ANSWER
I put 235/60 on my 15 inch rims and they were wide but it looked good on the back of my v8 s10. 215 should fit nicely on the 7 inch rim(the overall diameter will change since you're dropping your rim size 2 inches. The first numbers on the tire are the width across and the second number is the percentage of the width across the sidewall to the rim.
In this case it would be a 15 inch tyre with a width of 7 inches. A 215/60/15 for example would fit this rim but you could go slightly either way in width and profile if desired. If it is a standard rim, them I would recommend going with the manufacturers spec tyre size.
x /100 6750 / 9000 cross multiply .45 /100 75 / x cross multiply
