5 lub conversion and wide as$ wheel question

i might get te37's if someone can answer these questions.
im planing to run 245/40/17 on the front w/ a 8.5" rim and 275/40/17 in the rear w/ a 9.5" rim.
i am also about to do a 5 lug conversion.
i wanted to know what i would need to do to make this set up work.
oh...the rims are 40 offset

when switching to the 5 lug conversion, doi ONLY need the hubs in front? the front hubs come w/ the bearings right?
i have a messed up bearing in the rear, do the rear hubs come w/ the bearings too?
are the hubs the only thing i need to do the conversion?
(i've searched, most people replace everything. not just the hubs. i was wondering if i can just replace the hubs)

now when i install my rims, i was thinking about switching out the wheel studs for longer ones,(hopefully a 3" arp wheel stud) and adding wheel spacers to the front and rear.
would this be a good set up? i need to know how much space i need between the hub and the wheel.
would it be ok to install like 4 5/16" spacers on each side of the rear? should i not get the studs for the rear and buy like 2 of those 1" spacers that come w/ the studs?

will this be a safe? will i need more space in the rear?

thanx for your help in advance
david

i have a 95 S14
basically i want to know

1. how much space will i need to fit 8.5 rims in the front and 9.5 in the rear?

2. would it be safe to use ARP extended studs and put like over an inch of spacers on the car? if not, what should i do? keep in mind that im a VERY SPIRITED driver.

3. are the HUBS the ONLY thing ill need for a 5 lug conversion?
THE ONLY THING? do the rear hubs come w/ the bearing like the front?
