Tire Options for 1995 2wd?

I'm not that familar with tires...

Truck is an XE, King Cab, V6, auto, 2wd. The door jam says the tires are 215/75R14.
The current tires are cheap department store brand all season passenger tires. They'll need replacing soon.

205/75R14 Front
215/75R14 Rear (bought truck this way)

215/75R14 is a crazy size, there isn't much available. My Owner's manual says 215/75R15 was on some trucks (4x4?) but if I go that size I'd be out 3.7% (Search Miata.net. Perhaps if I go a lower profile?

Questions:
Is it a good idea to go to a 15" rim? If so, which other Nissan Trucks rims will fit my rig?
LT or Passenger?
Are Winter tires like X-ice or Blizzak a good idea on a Truck?

Details:
I rarely tow or have heavy loads.
I live in a city that has all 4 seasons (winters are extreme).
Most of my driving is freeway / city
The backend fish tails a lot even with 4 sandbags
Worse case I case I'm prepared to buy a winter set for next year

Thanks
