I own a 1998 Toyota Tacoma Reg Cab 2wd and am looking for new tires.  I am just learning the details about tire sizes.
I currently have size 195/75R/14 tires
Can I put size 215/70/14 on the same wheels?

No.  The rim width on your truck is 5" and the allowable rim width range for a 215/70R14 is 5­½" to 7".

I own a 2003 Nissan Xterra. My question is that my suv calls for a p265 r70 16 tires,
can i use a p255 r 70 16 tires on my vehicle?  Will it make a difference in anything or cause any damage?  Thank You

That's a bad direction.  That is going down in load carrying capacity and that increases the risk of a load related tire failure, which sometimes has tragic results.
