275's will fit but that width tire could really use a wider rim. A 255/40/17 would be a little bit better on a 17x8.

i am puttin a 17x8 in front so, the 275/40 would fit in fron then?

and 285/40 w/ a 17x9 rim would work in back?

4.5" and 5.5" bs is alright as well?

no such thing as a 295-315/40R17. You have 275/40 or 285/40 and 315/35. With 8" fronts I would run no wider than a 255, 275 will fit, that is what I run but on a 9.5" rim. on the rear I would run 285/40, thats as wide as you can run with a 9" rim.
