Default tire and wheel questions

well i came across a deal today i COULD NOT pass up. these are brand new mind you with the stickers and **** on still on them.. 2 275/40-17 sumitomos and 2 315/35-17 goodyyear eagle rs-a's.. for $300 i need to know what size rims i can safely run the 315's on. 10.5 or 11? also the front? 9.5? how about backspacing? and i know the bump stops are going to have to go but i was wondering about other clearance issues people have with 315's. anything that can't be fixed with a BFH?

also i wanna know what everyone recommends as far as chrome or polished aluminum. i'm leaning towards chrome now but havent fully made up my mind yet..

Thanks in advance!!

Up front 17" x 9", or 9.5" with a +56 to +38 offset.
In the rear 17" x 10.5" with a +50 to +44 offset, at most maybe some minor trimming.

i dont want the wheels to stick out past the fender wells. i'm not familiar with the way backspacing works as far as measurements.

which offset and backspacing will give me the deepest lip without sticking out past the top of the fenders?
