The size 175/75-15 is deciphered like this.

The 175 indicates this tire is 175 millimeters across from the widest point of its outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall when mounted and measured on a specified width wheel. This measurement is also referred to as the tire's section width.

The 75 indicates that this tire size's sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 75% of its section width. The measurement is the tire's section height, and also referred to as the tire's series, profile or aspect ratio. The higher the number, the taller the sidewall; the lower the number, the lower the sidewall.

The R stands for Radial tire.

The 15 is the diameter of the wheel in inches.

Is it bad to change from 215 to 175 tire size?

Not a good idea. But if you insist they you need to change the aspect ratio. For instance if you have a 215/60-15 tire and want to go to a 175 then you must go with a 175/75-15 to keep the overall diameter close to the same. Otherwise your speedometer will be way off and handling, performance, traction, and fuel mileage will be adversely effected. My advice is to stick with the OEM size.
